To Toasty's reference below, I grew up calling the Falcons the Coons.    I learned this last season that black dudes at my gym (possibly yankee) do not cotton to that term.   We had words and I wasn't even trying to be racist.

I mean, I can see their point…

They are The Falcons, not The Raccoons..

Native Atlantaliens called em that in late 70's when half the team was white.  I didn't know racist definition of the term the first time I heard it

The Falclosers.
