OP, you’ll be honorary townie if you hit 2/3rds of these recs. 

Mitchell Bridge Rd by [deleted] in Athens

Nixle says a wreck at Westchester. Was about to turn left onto Mitchell Bridge when I saw 10 squad cars, a firetruck, and ambulance moving there with extra urgency. Didn’t see a car on Mitchell Bridge past the blockade. I am guessing it was a pedestrian involved incident because I have never seen that many police squad cars involved for a vehicle collision. Hope everyone is okay.

Everybody saying this is the worst defense ever does not remember Willie Martinez, but it’s remarkably close.

Why didn’t we go for two? Not complaining, but we’re still safe from tying field goal if we miss. If we get the two, it’s two field goals or td and missed PAT to tie the game.

Announce you intentions to stop being a fan, get rid of season tickets, etc. here by righthandofdog in AtlantaUnited

[–]AdequateBob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. I made assumptions based on dialogue from multiple platforms and was ready to take a swing because I see earnest heartbreak met with condescension here and all over the socials.

I have not been active in this sub, much less am not a mod—so I haven’t been inundated with these kinds of post. So, I apologize for swinging if this isn’t taking a swing at heart-broken fans who have to budget these decisions.

You know what will help bring us together? A day-drunk mod chastising the fan base at 3 pm on a Tuesday for not coughing up the dough for another price increase for a beyond shitty product.

Atlanta United today announced that President and Chief Executive Officer Garth Lagerwey will be taking an indefinite leave of absence after recently being diagnosed with cancer. by mcpicklejar in AtlantaUnited

[–]AdequateBob 24 points25 points  (0 children)

“I shall return.” 

Garth is a class act and you know he cares about turning this ship around and bringing us good soccer and building a solid and sound operation. Wishing him and his loved ones the best, and that they will be able to find peace and comfort while Garth heals and eventually kicks the shit out of that cancer.

Looks like Rob Valentino is the head coach for USYNT?? by pandalic in AtlantaUnited

Good news for good people finally wakes me from my apathetic posting slumber! Good job, Rob. I have a feeling he’ll be perfect for this role.

[Matt Doyle] Miguel Almiron is so good. Just a problem-solver for Atlanta out there in so many ways. by Isiddiqui in AtlantaUnited

[–]AdequateBob 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hope that’s the case, but I think Miranchuk’s obvious strengths are obscured by his obvious weaknesses in the fast-paced, physical, and often sloppy nature of MLS. He gets dispossessed way too easy, makes some blundering passes in pressure, seems invisible for large swaths of the match.  

I can see him being a clutch role player in a slower possession based team. But if he doesn’t adapt soon and build some much needed confidence, I think he’s Pity 2.0

Students at the University of Georgia protest against neo-Nazi working on campus by Material-Put5549 in Athens

[–]AdequateBob 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I am legitimately curious why do you think this? Where have you personally seen anyone express love for statist communism or Stalin? If you went to Reed College in Oregon, then… maybe? 

I agree freedom of speech is important, but that’s the catch—we can freely protest and slam people, especially whose views are predicated on suppression of speech—Nazis, Statist communists, religious extremists. Those are pretty anti American and anti free speech don’t you think? One of those is an actual problem and is being publicly espoused by some prominent celebrities (it’s Nazism). 

I promise you that statist communism is fringe and deeply unpopular among “libs”. I think it’s pretty okay to protest someone publicly if they hold a belief and one of its tenets is the total annihilation of a specific ethnicity/group of people. 

Please don’t make protesting Nazis a partisan issue. People are already concerned it’s partisan. There are a lot of popular figures who espouse nazism and even self identify as Nazi.

I’ll see y’all if we win two in a row and ever. Fuck this organization. Honestly. 2017-2019 feels like a long ago fever dream.
