This article reads like the people involved have some weird fetish making people like soccer.
Hip urbanites in Atlanta are obsessed with "Atlanta United" because they feel just like europe. They have a weird outgroup bias and think europe is some enlightened place just like their progressive part of the city.

Probably. I never asked them if they went on reddit. They buy the stickers to put on their small SUVs and obsess over the new stadium. They're the same people who romanticize anything foreign and lose their shit over a taco
truck because its "ethnic". They're way too blatant with it so they come off as patronizing.

this is also why soccer will never be big here
american soccer fans don't really care about the sport, they just want to signal that they're above the plebeian sports like football and basketball
the only real soccer fans here are mexicans
