On a weekend with sadly no Atlanta United, I’ve decided to look back and look at the cultural impact that Atlanta United has had not just in the city itself, but the entire region.
When Yamil Asad volleyed home a cross from Tyrone Mears in front of fifty five thousand people on March 5, an entire region rejoiced. The Southeast region of the United States had been longing, aching for this moment. Finally seeing a team that they could call their own had been a work in progress for years. For some people, it was a moment they had been waiting for their whole lives.
