Looks like the Falcons have resorted to the next best thing... (1 Viewer)

When you have no truly great football players, retire the number of a great baseball player.
Falcons will retire No. 44 for 2021 NFL season to honor Hank Aaron

How dare they try to lump a great baseball player such as Hammering Hank with an atrocious franchise.

Well dang, if that isn't respect I don't know what is. That's how I see it, not through childish eyes and mentality. Hank Aaron deserves it and for the local football team to honor that man says respect to me. It's only for the 2021 season, how can y'all bash on that?

I’ll give them this one
Honoring Hank Aaron is more important that team rivalry

If you can't find a way to make fun of the Falcons then what you going to laugh at.

Hank Aaron was a lifelong fan of the Cleveland Browns. What are you doing, Falcons? Hank is in heaven facepalming right now.

Classy move

It’s the opposite, Falcons are so easy to make fun of that you don’t need to poo on an actual good thing

It makes complete and total sense. Hank Aaron ended up with a career batting average of .283.

(actually he batted .305)
R.I.P. Hank Aaron

Only because the NFL does not allow the retiring of numbers....!

I made no negative comment about the great Hank Aaron. The low hanging fruit was there, so I took a cheap shot at our most hated rival.

Wow... Terry F. all caught up a past he can’t erase, so he’s gonna try to “create”.

Next things are that he will blink & retain Ryan & Julio = holding on to the past.

Grab yall

Saints done sent them a mole.

I laugh at the falcons as much as any Saints fan, but this time they deserve a standing ovation. Very classy move indeed.

RIP Hank Aaron, an all time great.

#44 also happens to be the Super Bowl # we won.

Classy move by the Falcons. Kudos to them for doing this.
