Atlanta, GA - Atlanta United reserve defender Austin Brogan requested the ability to work from home this season as he cited the ongoing Coronavirus issues that plague the nation.

“I feel that in this day and age I should be able to complete all of my duties at home,” stated Brogan to Atlanta United staff. “I can be set up to do virtual training and I’ll be able to contribute as much as anyone did in 2021 by working from home.”

Brogan indicated that other players were able to play from home during the 2021 season and that he felt that the responsibilities of an Atlanta United defender allowed him to telecommute to his job.

“In this day and age, you will attract more of the youth to your workplace if you allow us to work remotely,” stated Brogan in his presentation. “Many people from my generation do not see the need to come into an office and a life as an Atlanta United defender would allow me to work from Grenada, Costa Rica or the beaches of Coronado. Either way, I believe that the way forward for this defense is a home office and zoom call ins to games.”
