Atlanta sports fans, y’all OK? Because at this point, we need to check if the front offices are wearing prescription goggles from the clearance rack at CVS. The way this city keeps missing legendary talent and events should be studied in a lab.

Let’s rewind the curse, shall we?

First up: the Atlanta Thrashers. Yeah, remember them? Atlanta had an NHL team and then poof  didn’t. After one forgettable playoff run, they packed up and moved to Canada to become the Winnipeg Jets. That’s right, Atlanta’s hockey team ghosted the city like a bad Tinder date and went somewhere colder with free health care.

Then this one time the Falcons could have had drafted Lamar Jackson in 2018. Matt Ryan was on the back nine of his career, and Lamar future multiple MVP, human joystick, youngest Heisman winning quarterback was sitting right there. But Nope. Gonna pass like they were allergic to excitement and winning. Lamar went to Baltimore, and the Falcons went… 7 – 10.

And then ohh boy the Luka Dončić trade. Atlanta had the number three pick, and they actually selected Luka. Yes, that Luka had the hat on and everything. But minutes later, they traded him to Dallas for Trae Young and a pick. Now Ice Trae is good, don’t get it twisted, Luka is built like a cheat code. He’s out here averaging 30-point triple double s like his cardio. Atlanta had him. And gave him back like an unwanted Secret Santa gift.

Three sports.3 missed opportunities. One city still wondering what could have been. Atlanta’s draft boards look like they were written by someone who skipped film day and went with vibe the only.

Maybe it’s a bad look. Maybe it’s bad judgment. The way, a little sports vision definitely needs glasses and maybe a whole new eye exam.

The only thing that they’re picking with consistency I think is pain and disappointment.
