A halftime suggestion
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Hawks lost to the Heat tonight. The score probably would have been worse, but Shaq didn’t play. One fan remarked “The Hawks act like they are allergic to the rim.” Other fans hid their faces when they were shown on the video board. Tough crowd.
Let’s change topics and address the halftime entertainment at Hawks games. Tonight they had the High Impact Squad. These were group of four people dressed like the crows from “The Wiz.” They basically did slam dunks with trampolines. Anyone who has been to a Hawks game and seen this act when SkyHawk does it in the second half. Funny, Skyhawk didn’t do that act tonight, I wonder why. In fact, SkyHawk was on the sidelines probably thinking “Geez, I can do that. In fact, I do. Every night.”
Here’s my suggestion for halftime fun: Bring back the Hawks Drumline. We only see them when the introductions are being made. Let’s see more of them. People would actually watch them. Think about it: A good routine and BAM, you’ve got a act.
Hawks take on the Raptors on Friday at Philips. They might be favored in this game.
