An hour ago, I didn’t expect to forgo Atlanta United’s last pre-game media availability of the season to write this column.
The truth is, I’ve been sat at my desk for most of the morning dreading it. Dreading using all my creative ability to dream up some questions of substance worth asking. Dreading having to nod my head and listen to platitudes that I’m sure those uttering would rather not be spewing. Dreading an attempt to convince myself that any of this charade matters.
The questions seem pointless at this late stage, because everyone — the front office, Stephen Glass, the players, and most importantly, you — understand the stakes of Decision Day: Atlanta United must win.
