Seriously, Why Is There an NBA Team in Atlanta?

I moved here 2 years ago from a wayyy smaller city in alabama. Ima just tell u traffic alone will make u not want to leave the house sumtimes even to go 5mins away to the store for milk and eggs

Sigh! I do not look forward to that once I make that leap of faith next year.

not too many places have die-hard fan-bases breh

them spurs do

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

Why do u think Atl aka Black Hollywood will never land a superstar?

Because the last free agents they got of some fame were joe johnson for hundred million and dikembe

Atlanta doesnt deserve a sports franchise, Hawks have the worst fan base in the NBA, not even close, and its been like this for 20 years.

get rid of Detroit as well.


this is from tongihts celtics game

I took at a look on http://www.nba.com/hawks/?ls=iref:nba:gnav and watched the video for the Hawks vs. Celtics game. It was pretty packed.

I've been to a Baltimore Ravens game. After half-time, half the seats were still empty. People out getting food, using the bathrooms, and who knows whatever else.

certain cities are just not for pro sports


and Atlanta is one of them...

I would disagree. Atlanta is crazy about the Falcons. The fact of the matter is the Hawks have been the shining example of mediocrity since after the Nique days. Is there some unwritten rule that cities should support consistently garbage teams?

Only support local teams if they're winning brehs.

1.) Hawks are a boring ass team
2.) Atlanta tends to running away superstars.(Vick, Deon,...)
3.) No community spirit at the games. If folks ain't dikk riding UGA
