I'll never understand why most United fans have to have an "us versus everyone, including our other teams in town," mentality.

It probably has to do with 20+ years of growing up in an environment where soccer is constantly shite on. Even after getting a legit team, a lot of the local media personalities still shite on the team and sport. shite, you can even see it in this thread. I haven't even given my opinions on football, basketball, baseball, etc., yet I already see replies about how no one cares about soccer, people only go to games because they are good, etc.

What are we basing "laughable attendance" on?

talent that is way below the top 5 leagues in the world.

Well, yeah. The league is only started in 1996.

bragging about a trophy that isn't as old as any kindergardner,

Campeones Cup is in its first year, but it's pretty much the North American equivalent of the Community Shield or the UEFA Super Cup.

The US Open Cup is one of the oldest soccer competitions in the world and has been around since 1914.

Let's get this back on track...

What would you do going into next season for the (1) Falcons, (2) Braves, and (3) Hawks?

For the Falcons - I do everything I can to sure up the interior offensive and defensive line. If we could just protect and disrupt the QB, this team is 5 games better. Also, an offensive coordinator who knows how to establish the run game. Every Falcons team that has been successful has run the ball well. If this means taking a stab at an RB in late round 2 with that New England pick, so be it.

For the Braves - Great pickup with Hamels. Still, would really like to see a bit more help in the pen. Sign back Donaldson and I think we're ready for another run. I think Fried takes a BIG step this year.

For the Hawks - I want the 8 seed, but the Collins suspension and 2017 Falcons-like rash of injuries has derailed that. Honestly? Rub a rabbit's foot and get Edwards or Wiseman in the draft. That team next year will make the playoffs, have 2 max slot contract spots (even after paying JC), and will be one of the most attractive landing spots in FA. The Hawks are my not-so-sleeper pick to be the potential dynasty of our Atlanta sports lexicon.
