ATLANTA — Terminus Legion, despite the finality of its name, came first. Long before Atlanta’s new Major League Soccer team had a date for its inaugural game, before it had an owner or a stadium or a youth academy or even a single player, the team had a supporters’ club. And then another. And another.
Footie Mob offered fans the promise of a backbeat of Atlanta music, and sweet, smoky barbecue. The Faction was a blend of natives and transplants with a charity bent. Resurgence is for “grass-roots love of the game,” according to its website, though perhaps just for the adult set: Two of three chants listed on the site include a four-letter expletive.
