say Hawksquawk organizes a official protest of the Hawks. We should draft a letter, representing all Hawksquawkers, and send it to Babcock, Kasten, AOL Sport, Turner Sports, Phillip Arena Management, Disney ( ESPN and ABC), the NBA, the AJC, Marrietta Daily Journal, WXIA, WSB 750. The List goes On I will post it later. We need to demand change, and until this team puts up a winner we must boycott the Hawks, We will refuse to patronize games, purchase Hawks Sports ware and, at least, claim to refuse to watch any Media or purchase any products produced by Time Warner AOL. Although there are just 170 members here the companies will take it seriously, because it will be interpreted that many more fans are participating in the protest. Hawksquawk can be the headqaurters for the battle against mediocrity.

We can garner national attention to our cause, take donations to buy adds in the AJC sports page and rally more to the cause. If the Hawks refuse to provide a qaulity good then we will refuse to buy or support it.

Send out the word to all the fan sites, all sports media from Chad Ford to David Aldridgethe Hawks must change or be driven from town.

The Atlanta Hawks are a business, and we are the their clients. The Hawks continue mediocrity because the organization has remained profitable. The Hawks are not an isolated endogenous system, their televsion revenues will go down under threat of protest. Sponsors will withdraw from Hawks Events, Attendence will go down, Licensing profits will go down. Texaco lost over a billion 7 years ago when they were protested, the Adams Mark is still paying repartions from protest over poor service.The list goes on and on. If you are an AOL user cancel your subscription get MSN or High Speed ethernet, when you withdraw say it is part of the Hawks protest. Call UPN and FoxSports sale office let them know of the protest It is time we leverage our power as consumers.

WE MUST END OUR BICKERING AND FIGHT FOR CHANGE. WE MEAN MORE TO THAT ORGANIZATION THAN THEY MEAN TO US. IF WE ARE UNSATISFIED WE MUST FORCE CHANGE.

Protest!? What type of attendance do you guys draw? 2,000? 3,000 people? Hawks attendance is an absolute joke already.
