Its not Svitek's fault

No siree. Not at all. It's the transient fans from other cities who move here already having a favorite team and then show up to Atlanta sporting events cheering for the other team and wearing the other team's jerseys! It's sad.

They probably came to that conclusion after reading this MB.

I wouldnt put blame on the Fans for the teams not winning. Fans dont play the games. The Braves had the greatest baseball fan-base for over a decade, got to the World Series several times.

my bad Jedi, I thought this was another article about the fanbase, lol

It's a thread quickly turning into the fan-base, so you're ok

If it makes the Atlanta locals feel better, I am an Atlanta sports based fan (exception of the Hawks. I am a big LeBron fan) and I live in VA...

Maybe you should put some work into your reading comprehension skills. The article isn't based on fan support.

So what exactly makes Atlanta the worst sports town? All that article says is Atlanta is a crappy sports town in more words than Atlanta is a crappy sports town, its a gay article

[Guest Negatorris]

It's speaking on how we never win ANYTHING!

[MattRyanProvesYouWrong]

Well, we do have a lot of bandwagoners.

My reading skills are fine. That was what my opinion is on WHY we were voted as such. Thanks for the input anyway.

There was a thread about this a couple days ago, I read the article and they based their voting on what cities' teams are actually good enough to compete for championships but keep losing, thus making their fans "miserable" also the city, according to their grading system loses points for losing a franchise. So in this past year, The Falcons,& Hawks lost in the playoffs, The Braves blew a playoff run, & we lost The Thrashers, so our fans should be miserble. I didn't agree with the premise from the beginning, If my teams are competing for championships, then that means the chance to actually achieve one would be greater than a city that has teams like The Browns, The Cavs, or The Indians where the chances to achieve one is almost none. That would make me "miserable"
