Which Atlanta team will be next to win a championship?

The year was 1995. Mariah Carey’s ‘Fantasy’ was on top of the Billboard Hot 100. Get Shorty, starring John Travolta and Rene Russo, was No. 1 at the box office. And that October, the Braves brought a World Series win to Atlanta.

Atlanta United did win a championship in 2018, which was just its second season of existence. That kind of instant gratification is foreign to Atlanta sports fans who aren’t also, I don’t know, Alabama fans or something, too. We’re all much more accustomed to the waiting, the suffering, the remembering the good old days when the Braves won the World Series and I definitely still had that Rachel haircut from Friends.
