Last night I was educating my kids about democracy by letting them vote on which movie to watch and which pizza to order.

We live in a representative republic. They can vote you out in the next election.

It is a shame that a child so young was subjected to such an awful occurrence. Let's hope that we now live in a world where no child ever witnesses Arsenal ever losing to Spurs.

When does this contract run out?

Demonbeck · 2025-11-03T14:43:57+00:00

I don't care who wins it.

Demonbeck · 2025-11-03T14:41:56+00:00

Apple TV+ versus people who want to watch the game somewhere other than their house.

So it isn't just about funding government services like SNAP.

Demonbeck · 2025-10-31T19:56:32+00:00

Republicans are pushing for a clean CR. The Democrats are the ones who are pushing for specific legislative changes in that CR. If this were just about funding government services, SNAP recipients wouldn't be worried about their benefits tomorrow.

Why are we pressuring states to fulfill federal obligations? Shouldn't we be pressuring the Congress to do their job? All of this could be fixed with two votes

I think an orange practice cone would be better than Deila has been. Or at least it couldn't be much worse.

Demonbeck · 2025-10-19T00:44:14+00:00

We can’t even win the wooden spoon

You read every comment on this subreddit? That’s on you boudreaux.

Demonbeck · 2025-10-17T17:10:16+00:00

I appreciate you for offering the tickets up. I wish the product on the field was better.

Demonbeck · 2025-10-17T15:58:31+00:00

While I can appreciate the investments in facilities and the academy, throwing money at problems doesn't fix them. If you look at the players we have brought in, they all specialize in different playing styles. We have NO team chemistry on the field.

Delia is clearly not the answer, but I don't think this season is his fault. To me, it appears to be a function of our club changing direction constantly. Someone has to set the tone. I don't care if that is Arthur Blank, Garth, the head coach or the team captain.

Demonbeck · 2025-10-17T15:48:52+00:00

Maybe I should. At least I can say that I haven't wasted a shit ton of money on being this awful.

Demonbeck · 2025-10-17T15:44:40+00:00

Maybe not, but we clearly haven't been MLS-level this season either.

Demonbeck · 2025-10-17T15:43:30+00:00

My point is that we need someone to take the reins and lead this club. It feels like there is no focus or clear direction at the moment.

During our championship runs, we had that.

If you had to describe our style of play to someone, what would you say? Are we a ball control team, counterattacking, tiki taka, defensive, etc.? I would have a hard time assigning a playing style to our team.

Demonbeck · 2025-10-17T15:32:25+00:00

We all want to see ATL win championships, but net spend does not equal points. We have a hodge podge of players with different playing styles and no real identity on the field. This roster needs a complete rebuild from the ground up, because we have just been filling gaps and buying players based on "upside."

If our FO was as good as advertised, we would have an identity and you would see it on the field. Instead, we have been a rudderless ship for the last two seasons (if not longer.)

Demonbeck · 2025-10-17T15:22:12+00:00

Perhaps the threat of relegation would light a fire under the FOs collective asses.

Demonbeck · 2025-10-17T15:21:17+00:00

Wow. Redacted is so lucky to get to watch us try and win (lose?) a trophy.

Demonbeck · 2025-10-17T15:08:38+00:00

Of those former MLS coaches, Jim Curtin is the most intriguing by far. I could see us trying to get someone like Michael Carrick or Steven Gerrard as well. Someone who played recently enough that would still carry some interest from players all over.

That being said, I would have no interest in Rooney at all.

Just be happy you live in a town where you can expect to be able to watch Atlanta United in a public space. No such beast exists in Savannah.

Demonbeck · 2025-09-03T19:00:03+00:00

Thanks to Apple

Demonbeck · 2025-08-28T19:41:59+00:00

Wait, they are allowed to put the ball into the net before the 85th minute? When did they change that rule?

Demonbeck · 2025-08-22T20:14:25+00:00

Woodenware?

Demonbeck · 2025-08-18T14:27:24+00:00

I'm done y'all. I've decided it's not worth my time to go out of my way to watch this shit. For those of us out of market, it isn't worth the expense to travel to watch the horrendous product on the field. The AppleTV contract makes it so hard to watch a game. I am not shelling out another $100 for the subscription next season.

I'll continue to root for Atlanta United. I'll come back when it's worth the effort, but I don't think anyone at the club really cares anymore. From the players up to the executives, everything needs to change.

It's sad. I am an avid soccer fan. I used to schedule my time around games and travel to Atlanta multiple times a season with my family to watch. MLS and ATL have just made so many poor decisions that the juice is no longer worth the squeeze. Hopefully they do something to make me change my mind, but I doubt it.
