This is not how to endear yourself to a professional sports franchise...
It was announced recently that the Atlanta Braves were moving to the suburbs- a sore spot for the government of the City of Atlanta, for sure, but Atlanta Deputy COO Hans Utz floated an e-mail slapping the franchise...
It read in part:
"They are not going to be calling themselves the Cobb Crackers or Smyrna (expletive deleted). They will be the Atlanta Braves and that's an indication of the value of the city..."
Yeah...
That went over well...
