Atlanta Hawks sale means bye-bye to the ASG

Well....bye.

The history of the Atlanta Spirit Group is so dysfunctional, so conflict riddled and so freaking embarrassing that I couldn't bear to rehash it completely in this space.

They were brutal...brutal to each other and eventually to the City of Atlanta, leaving the notorious trail of blecch and the stench that was associated with it as the calling cards of their tenure. The three factions led by Steve Belkin, Michael Gearon, Jr. and Bruce Levenson all took turns being the bad guy, the folks that would bring shame to the team and its fans.

The Atlanta faction appears to be in line to stay on in a minority role of ownership with the team.
