    Apparently they have not been in their own stadium.  

    Funny enough, most CAA fans like our stadium.  

    Sadly you never really get to see the actual stadium on TV. Just the $ienaty visitor stands and cars parked in the grass behind the scoreboard (which for a guy living in the south now for 20 years and used to SEC football, is pretty jarring 😂)

    I heard that pronunciation in another game in the past few weeks. Per Wikipedia there are about 23 Albany's in the US. Georgia's is listed as AW-be-nee, the every other one is AWL-be-nee. Unlike the Paul Simon song, you can't call us Al.

    I live in Atlanta and haven’t heard Albany Georgia pronounced that way. They pronounce it the same, maybe with a tinge of southern drawl. Then again Atlanta is a whole different world than the rest of Georgia

  3. Anyone who thinks the statement 'black lives matter' is racist, or is intended to make white people feel sorry for being white, has a fundamental misunderstanding of what the movement is about. Please, let me try to help you understand....

    Right now, when you hear "black lives matter' you're interpreting it as "black lives matter more than white/blue/latino/asian lives", which is incorrect. That is *not* what the movement is about, but unfortunately many have been lead to believe this by people who want to delegitimize the movement.

    The correct way to interpret is: "black lives matter too". If you understand this, then there is no reason to respond with "all lives matter" because BLM is inherently about all lives (black/white/latino, etc) mattering. It is meant to reinforce that black lives matter as much as all other lives, and their issues should be taken as seriously as all others.

    Hope this helps.
