I don't see this happening in Foxboro should the Pats win but I do see the potential in Atlanta...win or lose.
If I had a shoe store in downtown Atlanta, I'd already have a UHAUL backed in loading up all my inventory and moving it to a safe sight.
Wait, what about flat screen TV stores? LOL
If you lived here you would know about “the Atlanta way” as managed and enforced by Mayor Kassim Reid. Sure he is a democrat but so far I have to give him credit for running the city pretty well and clamping down on the “stupid” in the city. He let the BLM folks have a permit for several marches, but shut down several of the spontaneous bunch-of-people-on-social-media “protests.” AND the interstate in Atlanta was kept pretty clear (once I think they caught the po po off guard) and the marchers were prevented from blocking the downtown connector.
*IF* Atlanta wins there will be some stupid actors, and some will burn/loot their own neighborhood shoe stores. But all in all I expect ATL to do quite well should we win.
There are a lot of ignernt fools in CA. Don’t be that guy.
I want the Patriots to win because I want Brady to win, and because I like their team name “Patriots”, and because I want to see the head of the NFL have to pass the trophy off to Tom Brady, and eat crow.
“I’m just referring to Atlanta not the entire South”
When I said “ignernt fool”. I was referring to you. :-)
I travel the backroads of the Carolinas every day and the markers displaying Shermans March are prolific.
That bastard burned everything in sight. He had full support from Lincoln to just burn and kill everything.
Many of these folks that he destroyed had nothing to do with the northern aggression.
We'll find out tonight.
GO PATS!
Exactly!
Of Course Atlanta may win but thats why we play the game.
I don’t regard myself a Yankee. You can volunteer to pay reparations if you think that will salve your wounds. War’s been over a long time.
A bit dated stats, but no doubt have stayed relatively the same. Btw, these are not my statistics.

Why take the time and expense to rent a U-Haul and load it, then restock everything when for the same amount of money you can buy a decent 12 gauge and a window sign that simply says, “You Loot? - We Shoot!”
And you end up with a decent shotgun, rather than just a rental receipt and a sore back from all the loading and unloading!
While lamenting at all the Northern liberals moving in and changing Atlanta, my very Southern father use to state that Sherman could burn Atlanta today and not hurt one true Southerner. (This also implies that Northern Conservatives are always welcome.)

Man - he is one mean looking s.o.b.
There was a time in America - not long ago - when we laughed at the Brits who rioted after a soccer game. Not anymore. Very depressing.
Kenmore T station closed? really? But the green line will run, right? red line too?
Darn - I’m flying into BOS this afternoon!

I’m from AK. Am I a reb or a yank?
Where do my reparations go?
Reb, Yank, who cares? War’s over. If you’re family lost slaves, you might feel that you’re owed. If the war was about State’s rights, then everyone lost. AK didn’t exist as a State, nor did you as a person. I don’t think you owe anyone anything re: the Civil War.
