If you’re an Atlanta fan, you know that rapper T.I. is one of the home team’s biggest supporters. Yet this past weekend, the “Family Hustle” artist made this thoughts plan about supporting the Falcons and by extension the National Football League.
During a discussion at an event associated with the BET Awards, T.I. told sports journalist Jemele Hill that he won’t be riding with the Falcons this year – at least his dollars won’t.
On Monday, he tweeted: “Blacks in America spend $1.2 Trillion a yr,with the least participation or consideration to our needs.If WE make a conscious decision not to spend with a corporation. They MUST attend to our concerns. THATS OUR SUPER POWER!!!- Ye voice.”
Much has been made about how the NFL has been blackballing one of its most recognizable players for taking a knee on the sidelines during the national anthem. That controversy has spilled off the field as advertisers have threatened to leave the NFL and team owners have introduced penalties.
With the NFL season less than 90 days away, we want to hear from you. What do you think?

Atlanta’s SweetWater brewery recently debuted a new IPA series inspired by marijuana. The 420 Strain: G13 IPA combines the hops and weed aroma to make a whole a new draft.
Let’s put this out there: Yes, the beer smells like marijuana, so if you don’t enjoy that distinct dank smell, this is not the brew for you.
From Sweetwater:
This aromatic super-hybrid sticky IPA is first and foremost a phenomenally delicious and drinkable beer, with the added bonus of an olfactory experience that mimics that of the legendary G13 cannabis strain. The IPA base brew has a great body, good head and nice amount of haze at a pleasurable 6% ABV. To work with the malt bill, the brewers added some of their dankest hops, Columbus and Simcoe, plus two dry hop additions. To achieve the aroma, our brewers found the perfect botanically-sourced, strain specific terpenes and married them with propriety natural hemp flavor, both perfectly complementing the hops in the IPA.
The new brew is available at the following metro Atlanta locations:

6/22 – Brick Store Pub, 6pm
6/22 – Ormsby’s, 6pm

Redfin Mortgage, LLC is now offering loans to homebuyers in Georgia, announced Redfin Corp., the next-generation real estate brokerage. Redfin Mortgage offers fixed- and adjustable-rate conforming mortgages as well as jumbo loans for higher-priced homes in every state where it operates.
Building on Redfin’s existing technology platform and customer-centric model, Redfin Mortgage aims to be the fastest and easiest way for homebuyers to receive a quote, get pre-approved for a loan and finance their home purchase.Redfin selling mortgages in Georgia
Redfin Mortgage offers a 30-day closing guarantee, demonstrating its commitment to fast, on-time closings. If Redfin Mortgage is unable to fund a mortgage in 30 days, it will give the homebuyer a $1,000 credit toward closing costs, subject to terms and conditions.
The closing guarantee is enabled by Redfin Mortgage’s fully-underwritten pre-approval, in which all required borrower information is underwritten by the company in advance of the homebuyer finding a property to purchase. This gives the buyer and the seller a stronger commitment that the loan will be approved as long as the home has a clean title and appraises for the proposed sale price. The buyer must also provide proof of homeowners insurance to complete the transaction.
“The Redfin Mortgage 30-day closing guarantee gives homebuyers an edge in the current real estate market driven by low inventory and strong competition,” said Jason Bateman, head of Redfin Mortgage. “By earning the seller’s confidence that the sale will close on time, offers from buyers with a Redfin Mortgage pre-approval letter will stand out from the crowd in a bidding war.”
Redfin Mortgage also offers:
- Low Rates: Because Redfin Mortgage uses technology to streamline the lending process, it can pass along savings to its customers.
- No Lender Fees: Redfin Mortgage does not charge any lender fees, so customers can rest assured there will be no surprises on closing day.
- A Commitment to Customer Service: Redfin Mortgage shares Redfin’s commitment to personal service, with mortgage advisers who are rewarded based on service, not just sales.
- A Smooth Closing: When the customer’s lender and real estate agent work on the same technology platform, everyone stays informed, which leads to a smooth closing.
Redfin Mortgage is built to seamlessly integrate with Redfin’s home-buying service. Redfin real estate agents are not compensated for recommending Redfin Mortgage and will continue to encourage customers to work with a lender that offers the best service and value.
