I do not understand what is wrong with Philips Arena? It is a great venue. I would like to see their list of issues.

Perhaps a new one will last 10 or less.

This has to stop.
Naw.

Not with the way that Georgia and the American people have looked the other way consistently when it comes to corporate giveaways for the past few decades. Definitely after the latter half of the year 2000.

Time to make peace with the Post-TPP/TPA reality. I have.

Unfortunately...

Oh cool, potentially another sports team that's dead to me. I was about to be a fan now that the Atlanta Spirit are gone, now this?

At minimum this means they are going to try to threaten the city with leaving if they don't get a pay up. I hate professional sports.



Thanks for the precedent Cobb, ya jerks.

Really, Cobb set the precedent? Are you really that new to all of this? I agree, that all of this is terrible, but the Braves move didn't start this.

You don't think they would use the Braves move as the meat behind the potential threats to leave? I know they will.


Hopefully this is nothing, but most of all, I hope the CoA doesn't play ball (intended) when it comes to handouts. Sad thing is, they probably will.
