I guess the Robson appointment makes sense now?

One of our executive directiors, Darren Eales, is now the MLS new boys, Atlanta's club president. Atlanta starts MLS play in 2017.

Another new MLS franchise! isn't New York City a new one too, are there other ones closing Yankspurs or is the MLS just growing all the time? Got to be a good sign if it is.

Growing, quite a few additions recently. New ones in New York, Orlando, Miami, and Atlanta have all been announced in the last two years.

Fucking corrupt FIFA lets them get a franchise? What a surprise. How exactly are they going to play football that far underwater? I don't even know why I'm surprised anymore.

"Fry, Atlanta was an American city in your time?"
"Er, I think it was just an airport. They had a place where you could buy nuts."
"No! Ancient Atlanta was more than just a Delta hub. It was a vibrant metropolis, the equal of Paris or New York."
"That's right, honey, whatever you say(!)"
"Look at these fabulous ruins: Turner Field; the Coca-Cola bottling plant; the.. er, the airport."

Dikembe Mutombo managed it for the Atlantis Hawks without too many problems.
