Seriously, none of the proposed names are good.
Somehow, many Soccer teams get by with "FC" (Football Club), which is basically what they're named now.

They were some amazing pilots and heroes of World War II (may it be the last major war)

(2,103 posts)But I really like the idea of honoring those heroes. They really were people our country should be proud of and should provide more honors to.
Great American heroes! I could even consider cheering for them with that name. I was a Cowboys fan years ago. But I am feeling much better, now.
