The Braves started in Boston, but they’re Atlanta’s Major League Baseball team now. As a result, their rooting interest in Sunday’s Super Bowl LI at Houston’s NRG Stadium should be pretty obvious.
Sorry, Boston Beaneaters fans.
So to declare their support for the Atlanta Falcons, the Braves engaged in some Twitter shenanigans with the Boston Red Sox, who obviously are rooting for the New England Patriots. And it all started with this tweet:
Hey @RedSox, hope you're ready to join us #InBrotherhood pic.twitter.com/BneBPUHHz4

And it only got more entertaining from there.

When you think about it, though, can the Braves really lose this Sunday?
