team names in america often reflect the surrounding natural world miami's baseball team is the marlin miami's basketball team is called the heat

the lakers are just another example about naming your team after the surrounding envirorment

Little known fact: "knickerbocker" is an old New England term for "asshole." Hence, "the New York Knicks."

Lol good job Footbagger007. I was pretty sure Ken was serious and not telling a joke too. Both posts are hilarious though.

I always thought the Lakers were one of the cooler franchise names just for how odd it kind of was. The Super Sonic's was another awesome team name with Boeing being based in Seattle. And now they're the fucking Oklahoma Thunder? I was ready to riot in the streets when that was going through. Especially with all the young talent they have now. Blazers/Sonics rivalry would've been renewed for years to come, I would've never become a Lakers fan, and their wouldn't have been a Jonas brothers concert being held at the Key

Blazer, as in like a sports jacket? This is another mascot to inspire many fans.

sorry jeremy you are incorrect again the city of portland acquired the rights to an nba franchise quite some time ago they decided to let the fans name the team most popular was pioneers but that was already taken by a local college second was trailblazer*

trailblazer mean one who marks a path back in the day it was done with stones or sticks in modern cartoons usually jelly beans it is basically a synonym of pioneer

A more general question;

I heard that Americans can't tell when you're taking the piss out of them, and take your comments seriously. Is this true?

Although I should concede that the football team I play for is called the University Rainbows - which we try not to talk about

Also the university is the University of Tasmania - which means we should be abbreviated as UTFC (University of Tasmania Football Club), but instead we're TUFC (Tasmanian University Football Club), even though that's not the name of our university. I suspect this is because if you say those abbriviations, UTFC, sounds a lot like butt fuck, which apparently is unpopular despite how well this fits with our mascot.
