the small teams have it tough , but that was the case long before george came into the picture

Atlanta is freaking HUGE. How could they be a mid market team?

Yeah, but I don't think the owner had that much money?

Atlanta might have crappy pro sports fans (like NYC has crappy college sports fans), but it's the ninth biggest MSA and growing more and more every year. Not exatly mid-market. If that is the case, Boston is mid-market, as are Detroit, DC-Baltimore, and virtually every other metropolitan area that isn't New York, Chicago, or LA.
