If your a fan of the team this long then NOTHING should bother you. You have trophies and a great tradition to look back upon. I'm a huge Hawks fan and understand your frustration, but it's not all fans. Kids these days are pretty obnoxious. I have had a lot of arguments with my own fan base due to their lack of knowledge for football. I don't get frustrated till it gets blown out of proportion. Saying the radio is bias is just dumb. Every city has bias towards their team. My family lives in Texas and all I here is how Philly sucks this and that on their radio when I visit. Most of my fellow Hawk fans are pretty young too. So if you have been a fan from the 60's then don't even bother talking to them. Our city is young compared to many old school football cities so you are going to get a lot of idiots mixed in. I live in Seattle and had just watched the game at my friends bar with a ton of 49ers fans. We had a blast. No s**t talking but more or less bets on the next round. If you are over the age of 30 then most fans don't get riled up over petty s**t. Though, I did watch a fellow Hawk fan get slapped by a Niner fan after he jumped in her face after the 1st interception. Just be patient and wait for us to start losing then you can laugh when our fan base drops by half. Or if and when Russell finally scrambles out of the closet!!
P.S. To any 9er fans in Seatlle!! If there is a bar in Seattle that 9er fans have taken over then let me know. Always fun to watch a game in hostile territory.
Hmm....interesting theory.
