What I don't know about this sport? EVERYTHING!
I do know, when I see the final score, which team won. That's about it. I'm just too old to begin to understand
all the rules and regulations. Sure, when I chance to watch and one side scores, I get that.
Now, the real point of this post and the reason I'm even posting here:
In all the other major league teams in Atlanta, many fans have moved to Big A from somewhere else and will
come watch the Atlanta team's games when "their" team is visiting. Sometimes, the opponent has as many
or more fans than the Atlanta. Remember, these fans grew up as fans for their home team. Their parents
and grandparents were fans. Then, they moved to Atlanta.
Atlanta United does not have this problem very much. How many fans have move here, being great fans
of one of the opponent? Nope. This sport, so popular outside the USA, is fairly new here. These fans who
converge on our own Atlanta United team quickly become Atlanta fans. This is so wonderful!
