Atlanta becomes 22nd MLS team

I know there is already an MLS thread (somewhere) and a soccer in the US thread, but I thought I'd add this one anyway.

Quote:
With the number of slots for MLS expansion teams dwindling, Arthur Blank and the city of Atlanta have made official their commitment to become the league's 22nd team.

Blank, the team's owner, and MLS commissioner Don Garber made the announcement on Wednesday in front of an enthusiastic crowd at a downtown Atlanta establishment, a group that included the team's supporters group, the Terminus Legion.

Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed, Georgia World Congress Center authority Frank Pope and CONCACAF president Jeffrey Webb were also in attendance.

The team, which is still without an official name, will begin play in 2017.
I've been twitter-bombing Roddy White from the Falcons to talk Arthur Blank into giving me a job, but surprisingly haven't gotten a response. Guess I'll have to call in some favors from the pops. Can't wait until we get a partnership going with Palace and we can send all our hot young guys over there for Champions League domination. This part sounded familiar:

Quote:
Blank, who is also the owner of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons, insisted that he would strive to create a club that stays true to soccer's culture and unique fan base, and that the fans would have significant input as to the team's name and logo.

"This franchise will be owned by the fans," said Blank. "We will do everything we can to focus on the fans, to make sure we create the right atmosphere, to make sure that technically we have the best players, the best coaches. ... I promise you whatever resources it's going to take to give us a winning tradition, both on the field and off the field, you have that commitment from me."

When I read the title, I thought you meant Atlanta had 22 teams in the MLS.

That there is a supporters group before there is a team is surely the more remarkable thing.

I'd like to see them wear black and blue and call themselves the Atlanta Ball Club, Atlanta B.C. for short.

Michael PS Hayes. I remember when he managed the Hardy Boyz (from NC don't you know).

So we have chosen the rather blah name of Atlanta United FC. And have co-opted AC Milan's colors. Of course, red and black were always gonna be in the palette due Arthur Blank also owning the Falcons. Good ol' Carlos Bocanegra is the Technical Director and talked about having a world-class academy. I can't wait until the kids pass up La Masia for the Decatur Training Center.

Wish there was a way of having some kind of US/AUS cup between the A league and MLS Champions each year.....Aus still currently has the Asian Club Champions in Western Sydney Wanderers. Home and an Away leg would be good. Sure would beat watching this meaningless Premier league "Harlem Globetrotter" esq friendly visits we have to endure.

Wank time starts next week with the Mighty Reds playing Brisbane. Watch Rodgers buy the entire Brisbane squad just in case there is an undiscovered gem playing
