Fair enough. We are all free to interpret the information given to us.By marketing firm, you mean the founders work for a marketing company? I am pretty sure their founding was pretty legit with no ties to any pro soccer movement, not Blank not the Silverbacks.
When I looked into it a few months ago TL was listed as a marketing project by a company that was also run by the founder of TL. Could it have been an innocent coincidence, yes. There is also a divide amongst the supporters in ATL because they feel TL is run like a corporate entity.
This would be one if those instances where there is no solid evidence (why would there be)...but usually where there is smoke, there is fire.
