Why did Atlanta United dominate the MLS All-Star fan voting? https://t.co/4e1O8JDpSE

Atlanta sure knows how to GOTV.

Not everyone was pleased with Atlanta United’s dominance in the voting, though.
When only 5 of the 23 teams are represented....

Including one fan who remembers one of the Five Stripes getting injured in last year’s all-star game.
Because everyone forgot about what happened to @gmgarza4 last season. Our guys are *all* stars, but maybe we should let other players be All Stars™️and risk injury playing a non-competitive match.
