Crazy off topic, but my letter to the Atlanta Spirit Group after they sold the Thrashers (I am NOT a happy camper):
To the Spirit Group,
I understand that managing a sports franchise during a recession is a difficult proposition, however the failure of the Thrashers to thrive in Atlanta falls squarely upon your shoulders. Despite the claims of community and commitment, you seem to be more interested in your investment in the Hawks and treated the Thrashers as an afterthought through out the time you owned both teams. Your lack of willingness calls into question your commitment to Atlanta sports as a whole and the Atlanta Hawks specifically.
I do not trust your ownership group to own sports franchisees. As such, I will no longer attend or watch Atlanta Hawks games while you remain owners.
In addition, I promise you, while your ownership group owns the Hawks, I will strive to ensure that as many people as possible never watch or attend another Hawks game.
