A little more than six years ago, one tweet sent a shock to Kings fans and many others in Sacramento:
“So I hear that the Seattle Kings is officially a done deal!” Daina Falk – a food and sports enthusiast who is the daughter of sports agent David Falk – posted Jan. 8, 2013. “The Maloofs finally sold the ailing Sacramento team. #NBA”
That Twitter post brought Kings fans together in a push to keep the team in Sacramento.
In a city some 750 miles away, another group used social media to stage their own one-day rally in hopes of helping the cause in California’s capital city.
