When the Atlanta Braves announced that they would be leaving Turner Field for Cobb County, Braves were irate. Matter of fact, they still are.
Once the braves move to Cobb county .. I will no longer be a fan

I loved the Braves growing up but with this whole Cobb County debacle I think I’m done with them. New SunTrust looks awful,Turner was better — Corey Carrasco⚓ (@corcarrasco) September 17, 2014
//platform.twitter.com/widgets.jsIn Korea, it would seem, when the topic of moving a team from one place to another is brought up, the proper response isn’t to take to the internets and complain. It’s to throw eggs.
Watch.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4kQYFdpKDg]You might be asking yourself what prompted these shenanigans. Well…I’ll tell you.
According to the Korea Times, the idea was to build a stadium in Jinhae for the Korean Baseball Organization expansion team NC Dinos, but the location was deemed inaccessible.
Changwon Mayor Ahn Sang-soo (the dude getting hit with the egg) determined to move the buildsite to Masan and, along the way, crush the plans for a development deal that would be part of the proposed Jinhae stadium. This upset the guy who had been pushing for the Jinhae project, councilman Kim Seong-il, who, naturally, resorted to throwing eggs that he just happened to be carrying in his pocket.
It all makes sense if you think about it and, frankly, makes me wonder if I should abandon Twitter and just travel the country throwing eggs at whatever upsets me.
