You see, he said there was no passion for the Falcons. For starters, he left out one very important fact. The Falcons were closer to capacity seating(96.8%) than the Giants (96.3%) for the year. That’s despite the fact that the metro population is a third, at most, of New York City. So it would be pointless to answer his column.
Not only is there passion for the Falcons, there’s a great passion for the colleges and high schools of the state. On a Saturday that Georgia, Georgia Tech and Georgia Southern play at home, you can expect 160,000 to take in a game. Georgia puts out more high school talent than any state save for California, Florida and Texas. NOTHING in NYC can touch the passion Georgians have for football. NYC’s passion for basketball doesn’t begin to make up for it and they can have hockey. Maybe Mr. Parker doesn’t know the definition of passion.
He made references to BBQ, sweet tea and peaches. Rob, Rob, Rob sweet tea and peaches are a southern thing. BBQ, that’s an American thing. NYC style pizza, that’s an Italy thing. If you ate at a soul food restaurant, it would blow your mind. I guess he makes fun of the food, because there’s nothing uniquely New York when it comes to food. Don’t get me wrong, NYC has some of the best restaurants in the world, but the style of food is an import.
Let’s not even get started on women, manners, hospitality, and the overall happiness of living in the ATL vs. NYC, but the reason I’m not going after NYC? The Giants play in East Rutherford, NJ and outside of hairspray, Bon Jovi, and the mob, I don’t know much about New Jersey.
