Atlanta: The worst sports city in America?
August 2, 2007 at 5:30 pm by Scott Freeman in News, SportsWhen I saw that Pete McEntegart’s 10 Spot blog on Sports Illustrated’s website had rated the 10 worst sports cities, I feared the worst. And there it was. No. 1 on his list was my hometown, Atlanta.
In sum, according to McEntegart Atlanta is the worst because the Falcons are mediocre, the Braves play to empty seats during the play-offs, the Thrashers were swept in their first-ever play-off appearance, and the Hawks are both bad and boring.
Ouch!
Are we really the worst sports town in America?

While admittedly a little defensive, I must note that this gentleman is a douchebag. Thank you.

Atlanta may indeed be the worst sports town, but at least our traffic flows smoothly and we have intelligent transportation plans for the future… oh, wait ….

Judging by the ratio of sports enthusiasm to intelligence, Atlanta ranks …. depressed.
And are traffic is, at least, predictable and consistent.
