Eurofags BTFO.
A clipper is a name known for men who clipped cotton in the south and at night hustled by playing at speak-easies. They were knikc-named clippers around NYC and up there because they would clip in the summer and then clip in the bars during the Winter. They took the train called, wait for it, the Clipper Express. Thats where it came from.
No San Jose Quakes? Or the Nashville Predators, named after the time that sabertooth tiger killed all those people in city hall?
a clipper is a type of ship and san diego is a port city
So are the Miami dolphins named the dolphins because of how often those mammals name humans?
Are the clippers in reference to the rooftop Koreans clipping people during the la riots?

Mario Balotelli just comfirmed he will start with the Nice Truckers next season. I believe they're a good enough squad to upset the current stalemate between the Paris Shitskins and the Monaco Taxes.
Good luck Super Mario!
