A wave of sadness and anxiety crashed and every reasonable thought I had ever had about Atlanta United and its future washed away and everything got dark and blurry and I couldn’t remember how to describe the color red and I couldn’t remember why I would ever need to describe the color red and the walls got closer and the chair got smaller and I couldn’t feel my ears why can’t I feel my ears and we’re never going to win ever again and there’s no way we’ll ever win a championship now everything is over forever dear god why.
