Atlanta’s problem as a sports town is that everyone comes from somewhere else. Nobody there grew up being a Braves or Falcons fan. They either grew up Cubs or Dodgers fans and moved there, or they come from another country where they don’t give a damn about American spectator sports.
Houston is similar; one in four people in Houston were born in another country, and probably two of the other four were born somewhere else and moved to Houston after they reached adulthood. Houston is also a bad pro sports town, but not as bad as Atlanta.

Boy, you touched a raw nerve on this subject of foreign born Americans. We have way too many of these foreign born folks who do not give a hoot about any of our great country, its flag, its national anthem, or any of our state and national traditions.
I am a native born Texas boy and I take a lot of pride in that I am a 5th generation Texan plus I know a lot of history about my great state of Texas. These foreign born folks do not even want to understand anything about our great state of Texas or even our great country. This is so sad and not a pretty picture if we are looking forward.
We can thank our Congress for doing this to us by giving out way too many H1B visas and this is where we are at right now.

Houston is also infamous for the Mexican soccer team showing up and their fans waved Mexican flags and booed the American team whose fans were outnumbered.
