  • Falcons Fandom Is a Toxic Relationship ft. Wings.ATL

    What does it really mean to be an Atlanta Falcons fan?


    On this episode of Birds in the Trap, we sit down with Jalen of Wings.ATL to talk about his Falcons origin story, growing up in a house full of different NFL fanbases, surviving the heartbreak that comes with being a Dirty Bird, and why he’s still riding with Atlanta through it all.


    We also get into the current state of the Falcons, expectations for the new regime, whether Atlanta can win the NFC South, Bijan Robinson’s potential this season, and what Falcons culture needs to become.


    Jalen breaks down why he started Wings.ATL, his goal of bringing Falcons fans together through content, tailgates and watch parties, and some of the funniest answers he’s gotten interviewing fans around the city.
