New York Jets

>New York Jets
>Chicago Fire
>LA Clippers

Why do franchises name their team after theit respective cities' worst disasters

Seems pretty insensitive.

>Clippers
What is this referring to, the great hairdresser disaster of Los Angeles?

>he doesn't know.

>he thinks I would have cause to know
See flag, shithead.

Now we do the same thing for football

> Liverpool 96'ers

>Turin 39ers
>Glasgow 66ers
>Bradford Fire

Why do they even give "nicknames" to their team? This is an habit that only combines with Basketball, give a name based on the city or neighborhood of the team, or something to pay homenage to the team's history, but not "the city + dumbass nickname".

Nice one, Bacteria.

Did you just assumed my gender? I'm Bananinha for you.

>Barcelona

So like the San Paulo Favela Monkeys

Paris Charlies
Barcelona Pacers
Hiroshima Rockets

No, that would be the name if we copied american's retarded system.

>And here they are, your hometown team, The Nice Trucks

>Southampton Titanics
>Lockerbie Bombers
>London Plague
>Yorkshire Rippers
>Coventry Sirens
>Rotherham Social Carers

>pay homenage to the team's history
Only baseball and college athletics are old enough in the U.S. for this to have occurred naturally (think Detroit Tigers or Alabama Crimson Tide). Every team less than like 80 years old started off with a nickname because everyone else already had one

>New Orleans Niggers
>Cleveland Niggers
>Detroit Niggers
>St. Louis NIggers
That would get boring quickly

>the Cleveland Clevelands

wow..... racist much?

>Rotherham Social Carers
