Washington’s sports teams have their ups and downs. But does Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed have to rub our faces in it? Reed took to Twitter on his lunch break today to dispense shut down some D.C. sports fans.

The trouble started, Ball Hogs Radio notes, when a Washington Twitter user called Atlanta residents the worst sports fans in the country. Reed, an uneven Twitter user who is currently working to build a new football stadium, wasn’t pleased.

Ouch, Mayor Reed. Reed continued to tweet that he was unimpressed with the Capitals’ playoff run, but eventually made nice.

Reed’s press office hasn’t explained to City Desk what’s behind this grudge.

Update, 3:30 p.m.: But maybe Reed and Washington aren’t so different after all. Like Washington politicos, Reed received money from alleged shadow campaign financier Jeff Thompson.
