Fake City of Atlanta Facebook page makes Alabama fans angry
Some Alabama fans believe the City of Atlanta views them as lower-class citizens.
That’s because, on its Facebook account Thursday, the “City of Atlanta” advised residents to be on the lookout for people from Alabama who will be in town for the third-ranked Crimson Tide’s neutral site bout with No. 3 Florida State on Saturday night.
And as the “City” put it, “If there are any altercations, we encourage you to take the higher road, as they are a much lower class of people.”
Shots. Fired.
As it turns out, though, it was a fake account that posted the message.
The real City of Atlanta has a blue verified check mark on its home page (and it’s probably thankful for that today).
It would be incredible if the real account trolled fan bases, but it doesn’t.
Still, dozens of Crimson Tide fans in the comments made sure to voice their frustration.
