10.22.14 | I'm confused, what do Atlanta sport fans have to talk about from a sports standpoint? |

10.22.14 | sweet omaha. i actually don't live in atlanta myself, but i used to when i went to georgia tech.
balls you're confusing me now too. what are you asking? lol |
BallsToTheWall
10.22.14 | Well, Braves suck ass, Falcons suck ass and lol the Hawks. |

10.22.14 | grew up in a suburb but moved away at 13. went back a few years ago and everything looked like shit. used to follow the braves as a kid but i don't sports anymore |
Emyay
10.22.14 | that pretty much sums it up balls. the sports landscape in atlanta is grim right now |

10.22.14 | I'm in a similar situation. NFC South is so god damn dreadful and watching my Panthers is putting me on suicide watch. One good game followed by a momentum killing blowout seems to be the norm. But, nobody in that god damn division is winning and even if they do they're still losing. Every team is pathetically dreadful. |
nononsense
10.22.14 | yeah I live in Atlanta. Sports here have sucked the last couple years but throughout the 90's early 00's and the last 3 years excluding this year the Braves were dominant. The Falcons have been up and down but 2008-2012 the Falcons were really good. The Hawks are finally trending up too. I wouldn't be surprised if they finished with the 4th or 5th seed this year. |

10.22.14 | how are the thrashers doing this year? |
nononsense
10.22.14 | good joke |

10.22.14 | Atlanta teams have fans? |
Snake.
10.22.14 | agreed there are no good atlanta teams anymore
don't even get me started on the thrashers |

10.22.14 | worst sports city by far. 2 nhl teams that bolted for the metropolises of calgary and winnipeg, respectively. turner field is a shitpile and it's about to be replaced like 18 yrs after opening. the hawks are only a draw with the urban market despite being run by racists. the falcons play in a dome to protect the team from the harsh winter climate.
i like atlanta but everyone in charge of making decisions there is full-on retarded. |

10.22.14 | srsly bomb turner field, not abortion clinics.
(you kids r probably too young) |
Emyay
10.22.14 | i'm not an atlanta sports fan (despite my affiliation with someone who obviously is) so this is all pretty funny.
i don't get how the falcons playing in a dome to avoid harsh weather is a criticism |
HenchmanOfSanta
10.22.14 | Because Atlanta doesn't have harsh weather. It was a joke.
I will say that ripping on them for not caring about the Flames and Thrashers is unfair because hockey shouldn't exist south of the Mason-Dixon line anyway. |

10.22.14 | many nhl teams have been successful in non-traditional markets (nashville, san jose, raleigh/durham, tampa, dallas, etc) while only a couple have struggled significantly (the thrashers and the panthers, who play in the 2nd worst us sports city [miami]). hockey's inability to catch on there has more to do with the general suckiness of atlanta as a sports city (along with shitty ownership) than it does geography. |
