"content": "\u003cp>I first met Kevin Fippin in February, in the parking lot of Sleep Train Arena. He was making the rounds at a tailgate party before a Kings game. That was about three weeks after word had come that the Maloof family, the team's majority owners, had made a deal to sell their share to a group of investors who planned to move the Kings to Seattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/05/sacramentoKingslogo.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-26005\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/05/sacramentoKingslogo.jpg\" alt=\"sacramentoKingslogo\" width=\"203\" height=\"249\">\u003c/a>After that announcement, Kings fans went into action, using an existing network of blogs, podcasts, and groups like \u003ca href=\"http://www.crowndowntown.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Crown Downtown\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.herewebuy.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Here We Stay/Here We Buy\u003c/a>, which had formed in the wake of previous relocation whisperings. Fippin, who works in IT and in his spare time serves as the social media editor for the SB Nation blog \u003ca href=\"http://www.sactownroyalty.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Sactown Royalty\u003c/a>, helped spread the word: we need to sell as many tickets as possible for that Feb. 9 game, dubbed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/02/28/hopeful-sacramento-kings-fans-are-whale-watching/\" target=\"_blank\">Here We Buy Night\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The game came close to selling out, but Fippin said he knew that wasn't enough to keep the team in the state's capital. \"That's not what this is about,\" he said. \"It's about the fact that you even know this is happening, and national media around the country knows this is happening tonight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the best-case scenario is for the NBA to take a look at how valuable Sacramento is as a market,\" Fippin continued. \"And I don't think that has anything to do with Seattle. Seattle is a great market and they do deserve a team, but that doesn't mean that we don't.\" \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, the NBA Board of Governors agreed. They voted 22-8 to deny the relocation request. I reached Kevin Fippin late in the afternoon in the lobby of the Dallas hotel where the NBA owners had held their meeting. He was there with about a dozen other Kings fans who'd flown from Sacramento to Dallas.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">We're writing the blueprint: this is how you keep your team.\n\u003cp>--Kings' superfan Kevin Fippin\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"Most of us drove to Oakland [Tuesday night], got on a flight that left Oakland at 2:30 a.m., and got in about 8 a.m. Dallas time,\" he said. \"And then we came straight to the hotel. We just wanted to be here when the decision was made. We wanted to represent the love that Sacramento has for this team and show the world that these are the kinds of fans we are. If the fate of the team is on the line, we're going to be there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fippin and the other fans were confined to a corner of the hotel lobby near the press corps, including a large contingent from Sacramento. They spent the day watching team owners and executives going in and out of the meeting, chatting with reporters, and even making friends with a couple of fans of the old Seattle SuperSonics, who were hoping the NBA would reincarnate the team they lost in 2008 when it became the Oklahoma City Thunder. When the news leaked out, it wasn't a huge surprise--the NBA's relocation committee had recommended against the Seattle move on April 29.

He was making the rounds at a tailgate party before a Kings game. That was about three weeks after word had come that the Maloof family, the team's majority owners, had made a deal to sell their share to a group of investors who planned to move the Kings to Seattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/05/sacramentoKingslogo.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-26005\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/05/sacramentoKingslogo.jpg\" alt=\"sacramentoKingslogo\" width=\"203\" height=\"249\">\u003c/a>After that announcement, Kings fans went into action, using an existing network of blogs, podcasts, and groups like \u003ca href=\"http://www.crowndowntown.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Crown Downtown\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.herewebuy.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Here We Stay/Here We Buy\u003c/a>, which had formed in the wake of previous relocation whisperings. Fippin, who works in IT and in his spare time serves as the social media editor for the SB Nation blog \u003ca href=\"http://www.sactownroyalty.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Sactown Royalty\u003c/a>, helped spread the word: we need to sell as many tickets as possible for that Feb. 9 game, dubbed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/02/28/hopeful-sacramento-kings-fans-are-whale-watching/\" target=\"_blank\">Here We Buy Night\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The game came close to selling out, but Fippin said he knew that wasn't enough to keep the team in the state's capital. \"That's not what this is about,\" he said. \"It's about the fact that you even know this is happening, and national media around the country knows this is happening tonight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the best-case scenario is for the NBA to take a look at how valuable Sacramento is as a market,\" Fippin continued. \"And I don't think that has anything to do with Seattle. Seattle is a great market and they do deserve a team, but that doesn't mean that we don't.\" \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, the NBA Board of Governors agreed. They voted 22-8 to deny the relocation request. I reached Kevin Fippin late in the afternoon in the lobby of the Dallas hotel where the NBA owners had held their meeting.

The other sailor suffered minor injuries, and the rest of the crew of about a dozen was accounted for and taken back to their dock in Alameda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The entire Artemis team is devastated by what happened,” CEO Paul Cayard said in a statement posted on the team’s website. “Our heartfelt condolences are with Andrew’s wife and family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials said winds were blowing between 15 and 20 knots when the boat capsized. The National Weather Service later in the day issued a small-craft advisory, warning inexperienced mariners to stay off the bay and indicating winds of between 21 knots and 33 knots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Artemis boat flipped in winds of about 20 knots near Treasure Island, which is bisected by the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge.

In 1999, Martin Wizner of the Spanish Challenge died almost instantly when he was hit in the head by a broken piece of equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No deaths have been recorded during the actual racing since its inception in 1851.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simpson and his partner Iain Percy won an Olympic gold medal for England in 2008 in the so-called Star class of sailing. The duo was expected to repeat in London in 2012 but was upset by a Swedish team and settled for silver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Percy is Artemis’ director and the boat’s tactician. Artemis announced on Feb. 23 that Simpson was joining the team to “provide weather and tactics support” to the crew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month later, Simpson tweeted: “Moving the family to San Fran for 6 months is pretty hectic!!! The cup should be fun though!!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artemis has had its share of upheaval in the buildup to the 34th America’s Cup. Late last year, skipper Terry Huthinson of Annapolis, Md., was released. He was replaced by Nathan Outteridge of Australia, who won a gold medal at the London Olympics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artemis has had technical problems, as well. Last fall, Artemis said the front beam of its AC72 catamaran was damaged during structural tests, delaying the boat’s christening. A year ago, Artemis’ AC72 wing sail sustained serious damage while it was being tested on a modified trimaran in Valencia, Spain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This also wasn’t the first America’s Cup boat to capsize on the hard-blowing San Francisco Bay. Oracle’s $10 million boat capsized in 25 knot winds in October, and strong tides swept it 4 miles past the Golden Gate Bridge. No one was injured, but the rough waters destroyed the 131-foot wing sail and the boat was sidelined until a new sail shipped from New Zealand was installed in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boats participating in the latest America’s Cup more resemble a space craft than the traditional sloop-shaped yachts that historically competed for the trophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Financed by billionaire Larry Ellison, Oracle Team USA won the 2010 cup and made several changes to the races this year in an attempt to make the staid competition more fan- and TV-friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While much faster and more exciting than the sloops, the catamarans have proved hard to handle. The wing sail looks and acts like an airplane wing, improving the yacht’s speed and maneuverability. The seven-ton boat’s hulls are lifted out of the water and it skims along the waves on “foils,” reducing the drag on the boat and increasing speed dramatically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the boats are cutting-edge, sailors wear crash helmets and life vests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coast Guard Lt. Jeannie Crump said the agency did not know the extent of the damage to the boat. She said a commercial salvage boat was at the scene and would tow the vessel to Clipper Cove, between Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crump added Coast Guard officials weren’t sure what caused the boat to capsize. She said the Swedish team has two boats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The America’s Cup race is scheduled to run from July through September, and the teams are training in the bay.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He was pronounced dead a short time later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the second time a sailor has died during training for the America’s Cup. In 1999, Martin Wizner of the Spanish Challenge died almost instantly when he was hit in the head by a broken piece of equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No deaths have been recorded during the actual racing since its inception in 1851.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simpson and his partner Iain Percy won an Olympic gold medal for England in 2008 in the so-called Star class of sailing. The duo was expected to repeat in London in 2012 but was upset by a Swedish team and settled for silver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Percy is Artemis’ director and the boat’s tactician. Artemis announced on Feb. 23 that Simpson was joining the team to “provide weather and tactics support” to the crew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month later, Simpson tweeted: “Moving the family to San Fran for 6 months is pretty hectic!!! The cup should be fun though!!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artemis has had its share of upheaval in the buildup to the 34th America’s Cup. Late last year, skipper Terry Huthinson of Annapolis, Md., was released. He was replaced by Nathan Outteridge of Australia, who won a gold medal at the London Olympics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artemis has had technical problems, as well. Last fall, Artemis said the front beam of its AC72 catamaran was damaged during structural tests, delaying the boat’s christening. A year ago, Artemis’ AC72 wing sail sustained serious damage while it was being tested on a modified trimaran in Valencia, Spain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This also wasn’t the first America’s Cup boat to capsize on the hard-blowing San Francisco Bay. Oracle’s $10 million boat capsized in 25 knot winds in October, and strong tides swept it 4 miles past the Golden Gate Bridge. No one was injured, but the rough waters destroyed the 131-foot wing sail and the boat was sidelined until a new sail shipped from New Zealand was installed in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boats participating in the latest America’s Cup more resemble a space craft than the traditional sloop-shaped yachts that historically competed for the trophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Financed by billionaire Larry Ellison, Oracle Team USA won the 2010 cup and made several changes to the races this year in an attempt to make the staid competition more fan- and TV-friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While much faster and more exciting than the sloops, the catamarans have proved hard to handle. The wing sail looks and acts like an airplane wing, improving the yacht’s speed and maneuverability. The seven-ton boat’s hulls are lifted out of the water and it skims along the waves on “foils,” reducing the drag on the boat and increasing speed dramatically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the boats are cutting-edge, sailors wear crash helmets and life vests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coast Guard Lt. Jeannie Crump said the agency did not know the extent of the damage to the boat. She said a commercial salvage boat was at the scene and would tow the vessel to Clipper Cove, between Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crump added Coast Guard officials weren’t sure what caused the boat to capsize. She said the Swedish team has two boats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The America’s Cup race is scheduled to run from July through September, and the teams are training in the bay.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
