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

    I’ve seen Real [insert city] as a team name often. What is real supposed to mean in this context? It’s a REAL team? It’s REALly based in [city name]? Or pointing out that the other team in town isn’t REAL?
