- Basketball:
- NBA team owners vote 28–2 in favor of allowing the Seattle SuperSonics to move to Oklahoma City. Although the team could potentially move for the 2008–09 season, the move is contingent on the settlement of a lawsuit filed by the city of Seattle in an attempt to force the team to honor its lease at KeyArena, which does not expire until 2010. It may also hinge on a potential breach-of-contract lawsuit by former owner Howard Schultz to reclaim the franchise.

the sweet small clumsy feet of April came
into the ragged meadow of my soul.”
