Are you delusional?
Maybe you consider Birmingham in the same level as Nashville, New Orleans, Charlotte, or Atlanta. But I promise you most do not.
I really don't care, if I moves to Atlanta. Even though I think that's the perfect location. However I do feel they might move to Charlotte, once the league expands. Which it's going to do, you can just see that's on the table. Why else put the network in Charlotte , when Atlanta, Nashville, Houston, and Orlando offer the same media needs.
Also I didn't say there weren't rednecks in GA, but it's pretty funny someone from Alabama calling them out.

Cause ESPN already owns the ESPNU studio in Charlotte and it was easier to renovate than build a new studio elsewhere. This is also the studio ESPN Plus has always used to produce products for SEC TV which was the regional predecessor to SEC Network.

If you can find where I even began to make this claim other than where I correctly noted that metro Birmingham had a higher population than post Katrina metro New Orleans, you would have a point. I specifically called out the absurd notion you made that metro Birmingham was no bigger or more important than Augusta, Montgomery, Savannah, Macon, Huntsville, etc.
As for rednecks, of course Alabama has them. That wasn't the point. Alabama readily acknowledges it's rednecks. Georgia pretends like theirs don't exist and they act like they live some charmed life because they live near Atlanta.
As for Atlanta being a bad sports town, it's bad from the perspective of support for its local pro teams. Atlanta does well hosting the kind of events that don't necessarily need a lot of local fan support.
Birmingham for all its critics still holds the record for the 2 largest crowds in SEC Championship game history. The game is obviously perfect at the Georgia Dome however.
As for the SEC offices, I'd vote for Nashville way before Atlanta. Atlanta has a long history of being blatantly biased against Alabama. There would also be a lot of favoritism towards the SEC East.
