You won't believe what Atlanta United is doing this weekend

Aye look, here's the thing though— you know how I feel about Atlanta United. No cap, they bring a different kind of energy to this city, the kind that makes you wanna jump up and shout even if you just finished a double shift. So when I saw them putting out the word, "We're here to fight for the city," talkin' about this Saturday's match against D.C. United after that strong 3-1 win against Philly? Man, that’s valid. It ain't just soccer, it's a *vibe*. They out there on the pitch, in the heart of downtown, right by Mercedes-Benz Stadium, doin' the work.

That’s what I'm talkin' about when I say Atlanta United gets it. They ain't just playin' a game; they playin' for the city, for the people who come down from Cascade Heights, who ride MARTA in from Bankhead, who brave the I-285 traffic from literally everywhere to pack that stadium. That energy, the way the crowd gets to singin' and chantin', you feel that shiver down your spine? That's Atlanta showing up. That’s how we move in the A — stay tapped in.
