I don't want to just follow in everyone else's footsteps but yeah, no one in Atlanta gives a frick about the Hawks


There used to be some good crowds in the Omni when Ted Turner owned them and everyone knew the owner gave a shite.

Every swinging dick that's a basketball fan in the city of Atlanta *knows* that the "Atlanta Spirit" ownership group doesn't give a flying frick about building a competitive basketball team.

You can sell out home basketball in Atlanta. Its been done before. But as long as the NBA allows the "Atlanta Spirit" to suck off the NBA teet and not give a single frick about "their" team, not a single frick will be given by Atlanta basketball fans.

And you fail to mention that the NFC Title game was packed and sold out.

They're all in for the Falcons Super Bowl run. And how couldn't they be? Anything less than a Super Bowl victory would be total failure for them IMO.

You realize the sum total of every person who could fit in both the braves and hawks stadiums is still less than fit into a normal football stadium? And considering 6 million people live in Atlanta...

The fact that you are using the argument that at least the NFC championship game was packed just furthers his point.

They're in the playoffs and have a chance to force a game 7 against a pretty good team. I'd say that's pretty competitive.
