Concentration camp givers. Small Pox blanket givers. Culture suppressors. Religion Replacers.

3. Shouldn't that be the "Fightin' Irish"? Or the Patriots, or the Vikings or the Tarheels or ....

the Midshipmen or the Knickerbockers or the Pirates or the Kings or the Wizards or the Cavaliers or the Celtics or the Buffalo Bills or the Dallas Cowboys or the Packers or the Buccaneers or the Canadiens or the Rangers or the Senators or the Canucks or the Silver Knights or the Strikers or the Rowdies or the Sidekicks or the Roughriders or the Texans or the Cowboys or the Saints or the 49ers or the Monarchs or the Admirals or the Americans or the Admirals or the Rivermen, Barons, Rangers, Royals, Nailers, IceMen, Gladiators, Wranglers, Brewers, Padres. Yankees, Mariners, Outlaws, Bandits, Roughnecks,

And some college names: Crusaders, Lord Jeffs, Trojans, Black Knights, Wonder Boys, Plainsmen, Spartans, Governors, Gyrenes and that just gets us though the A's.

Do teams pick names to make fun of others or to describe the strength of others they wish to ascribe to themselves?
