To have that kind of success in ATL is pretty unheard of so don't shite on it!!
I have no issue with the team, or organization. It's first class.
The fanbase is ultra-annoying. That's all. I think I explained my position pretty well. It's a great thing to have in the city, but the fanbase acting like they are the mount rushmore of athletic competition is a bit unnerving, especially to those who have been Atlanta sports fans longer than 3 years.

Where are you seeing and hearing this? And so what if passionate fans of the club take a lot of pride and joy out of winning? Maybe soccer is their favorite sport so to them personally their soccer team winning IS a bigger deal to them. There are plenty of Braves fans that aren’t Falcons fans. There are plenty of Hawks fans that aren’t Braves fans. Etc. It doesn’t diminish anything about the other Atlanta teams when someone personally values their favorite team’s/sports’s accomplishment more than you might deem appropriate or deserved.

Obviously a World Series, Super Bowl, or NBA Title would all be bigger deals for the city; it's hard to tell someone to not be excited when their team is on the verge of 2 league titles within the first 3 years of existence.
I can't really complain because they have Atlanta in their name, so they represent this city and it's nice to see a team finally win some hardware around here. Soccer fans are just a nutty bunch.
