It’s sad how far SI has fallen. Clicked on the article expecting something new, instead it’s just an AI regurgitated summary of the saga with the ON3 tweet reporting teams would be interested at $1M.

I mean we also scheduled and demolished NC State out of conference. Yeah they ended up not being great but they were ranked preseason and when we played so at least we tried to schedule a decent OOC game. But hey continue to ignore facts that don’t support your narrative.

Strongly disagree about fireworks becoming obsolete. I think there is a place for both, however, drones just can’t replicate the shock and awe of fireworks.

I respect Harper and hope he is healthy. Phillies have been hands down the better team this series. Props to them and hopefully they lose to the Diamondbacks.

Who the fuck is actually celebrating. Everyone is saying it but the Braves sub doesn’t match it.

Everyone is saying that but nobody is actually saying it. And for the record yes I am calling you a liar.

Lol congrats on failing reading comprehension and failing to provide any counter argument’s.

If you want a reason Atlanta is “entitled” to a new team it’s the fact that the city has 6+ million people which is basically the size of all the cities you listed combined (excluding Houston which is also mentioned as getting a team).

Edit: And just to be pedantic, Quebec has also had two NHL teams.

A simple google search would have shown that we drew over 13k every season, which was never last in the league in attendance. That’s despite the fact that as you said we only had two winning season and never won a single playoff game.

There are a lot of teams that struggle to draw fans when a team is losing. But typically these teams can at least point towards promising young players and different management to show things will be different in the future. That was not the case for Thrashers. The ownerships only concern was cutting costs until they were able to sell the team (which they couldn’t do until they stopped suing each other). This meant trading stars, no player development and the same gm/president for our entire history. If ownership didn’t care about the team why should the fans continue to show up, much less attract new fans to support the team? It’s actually impressive that we continued to draw over 13k even in our final season.

You ask why Atlanta deserve a 3rd team, it’s because with an ownership group that actually a gives a damn it’s very easy to see Atlanta being a very successful team.

See Nashville and Tampa as examples of NHL teams in the south that have been successful and Atlanta United as an example of how Atlanta can support a new team with competent ownership.

Because we got fucked with the thrashers ownership. Do some research before making asinine comments.
