Only in Atlanta

Only in Atlanta, will you ever hear the home crowd start chanting MVP for an opposing player. With under a minute remaining in game 4 of the Hawks/Cavs series, the "fans" inside of Philips Arena sunk to a new low. As LeBron James and the Cavaliers sent Joe Johnson and his "kind of quit" Hawks home for the summer, an unmistakable chant of MVP erupted from the crowd. Why is Atlanta such a pathetic sports town? I'd say it starts with the fans. The "fans" in this city are the absolute WORST in all of America. These are the same people who, prior to the Mike Vick era, used to fill up the Georgia Dome and tenaciously cheer for visiting teams.
These are the same people who give standing ovations to Albert Pujols, any time he single handedly defeats the home town Braves. It goes beyond respect for opposing players. The "fans" in this town have no integrity or loyalty. There is no home court in Atlanta, because these "fans" suck!

I remember hearing one side of the Omni shout "Reggie" as the other side responded with a loud "Miller." I think it was even the season home opening. Sad.
