What's the Deal Rob Parker?

Recently, in the national spotlight of sports writers, a "man" named Rob Parker took a cheap-shot at, not just the Falcons, but the city of Atlanta. In this article Parker calls Atlanta "the worst sports team in America" therefore they do not deserve to win". How can a professional sports writer insult a whole city? How can a professional sports writer say that a team doesn't deserve to win because of the fans?
Let me ask you something Rob Parker. Have you ever been to a sporting event in Atlanta. If so you would know that:
1. Turner Field has the 2nd largest capacity in the Majors. There's a reason we don't sell out every game.
2. The Braves are and always will be America's team. We don't need to buy our team like you're Yankees. The Braves have the best farm system in the majors.
3. Matt Ryan and the Falcons are 20-2 at the dome while your Giants, under Eli are 30-22. I'm not a math wiz, but I'm pretty sure this proves that the dome is a better home stadium than your precious "Meadowlands"
4. Hockey sucks anyways, that's why the thrashers left.
5. Phillips Arena is one of the loudest NBA arenas in the league. I wouldn't call that poor fan support.

Therefore, Read a book you bum, and don't ever hate on Atlanta, sweet tea, or Barbeque again.
