Someone (@Walt ?) already posted an article regarding the devious plan to relocate to Nashville aka white atlanta

I mean... Nashville is one of the largest economic drivers in the South; if they continue this growth, they'll be bigger than Atlanta in a few years. I think they've already passed Charlotte or are extremely close to passing them.

Nashville. Not even a question. They already have an arena there too - Bridgestone. It holds close to 19k for basketball. :manny:

Nashville could have trouble supporting a 4th major league team, especially since they are in the running for an MLB expansion franchise in 2029-30. The smallest city with all 5 major leagues represented is Denver which is about ~42% larger than Nashville; Seattle is the smallest city with 4 league representation and is effectively twice the size of Nashville.

My point being, if Nashville gets a 4th team, it won't get a 5th.

Nashville is smaller than Charlotte too, by the way. Nashville has the 9th-largest economy in the South, its a long way from catching Charlotte (5th-largest), and much further away from catching Atlanta (#2 in the South after Houston).

In terms of what? I know Nashville is doing much better than Memphis now so i understand that move. But overtaken ATL or Charlotte? What industry do they truly have and what’s the appeal for anyone who’s not white and conservative?

Healthcare, manufacturing and banking are the big industries in Nashville. There's a lot more brehs in and around Nashville than people think.
