Not the town, per se, but the sports teams.

And…

I’m not sure about the Hawks, as I haven’t followed NBA Basketball since the days of Michael Jordan, however long ago that was. Atlanta United has taken a backslide. Georgia Tech basketball is the worst it’s been in recent memory (giggle). In general, the Atlanta professional sports product has recently left much to be desired, and the Braves had, at one time, been the lone shining spot in local pro sports that you could rely on to at least be decent.

But with the team’s focus less on the diamond and more about expanding the Battery into a multi-functional living space, America’s Team has become just another casualty in Atlanta sports lore.

So for today’s wondering…is Atlanta vexed as a sports town? Is it piss poor management, mediocre expectations from fans for performance, or because it’s just background noise for an expensive night out on the town?

Penny for your thoughts.
