Is like they asked a 8 year old who watched transformers to name them plus drawing the logos. Especially in NBA and NFL.

Also the idea of a city “buying a team” from another state blows my mind… Imagine if that was a thing in Europe, Chelsea FC, in Newcastle or Bayern München in Hamburg. Barcelona FC In Madrid… That would cause a riot lol

      It just sounds less prestigious. These team are a century old, most of them at least. Also I’m not against names, but against corny ones, real Madrid isn’t the name of the city, but sounds great.

        I mean as far as age goes, if I counted right, 16 of the 30 teams in Major League Baseball are over 120 years old. Also it’s not like teams in England don’t have nicknames if they didn’t I wouldn’t spend so much of my time ponder what in the hell a womble is.
