I know this will probably get flagged b/c any public mention of race scares the shit out of people but I’m sure I’m not the only one that noticed that the majority of the Falcon fans seems to be Black. In the past, I felt like it was much more diverse (or majority white) but it seems as if non-Black Atlantans are rarely showing up to the Dirty Bird Nest. I know that today was the 50th year celebration of hip-hop but I been noticing how the fanbase has been changing for a while. To the non-Black fans, why do you feel the Falcon fanbase seems to be predominately Black? Is it b/c the culture of the gameday experience caters more to Black Americans than anyone else? And I know non-Black Atlantans love football as well because UGA football is king here … it’s almost a reverse of what I see at Falcon games … at UGA games I a sea of non-Black faces with speckles of Black faces in the crowd.
I don’t think the OP is being negative by the post so people should stop trying to read beyond it. As a Falcons fan in Charlotte, I don’t go to games, but the fan base (when I’ve gone to games) seems to be indicative of the demographics of the population, especially near the stadium. Have I noticed it? Yes, but it never bothered me because I view these folks of all races as “my brotherhood” as long as we’re pulling for the same team.
