Why are there no major sports teams named the Foxes?  That would be so cool.?

Foxes are small and insignificant.  By the way, foxes are known as cheaters.

THEY DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER!!!!!!\n\nI'm from Chicago and I remeber  when there was only six teams. Here is the story. Disney is big or the biggest thing in Anahiem. The Mighty Ducks was a great Disney movie. It was a great Disney marketing move to name the team after the movie.\n\nNow the new owners of the team plan look into a name and uniform change. But Anahiem or Los Angeles are not hockey towns. \n\nGoing to a Hockey game is an option here.  Maybe the fans in Organge County don't feel like driving to Hollywood today. Maybe they don't want to be on the always crowded freeways? Maybe somebody forgot to reserve a tee time? The surf conditions are bad?\n\nLook forward for this team to move to Portland or Houston.  They have to move the Penguins, so the Ducks are next.\n\nWhen you think of hockey towns, you think of the original six cities, and St Louis, Minnesota, and Philadelphia. These are great hockey towns. They are followed by Buffalo, Denver, and the other Canadian cities. Anahiem?? Please give me a break. You won't miss the team if it moves away.\n\np.s. SO CAL has a very successful ECHL team in LONG BEACH. I think they draw about 2,000 per game.  SO CAL is not a HOCKEY area. Currently heading out to get a JACK DANIELS LATTE or a BEER Slurpee.

I think they need to get one first.  I don't think they could have too teams because either they would need two stadiums or the schedulers would have to make someone else at home every week.  I think one football team is enough for one city.

What about Hartford!!!!!?????  Don't forget the Whalers!  I am all for teams returning to Winnipeg, Quebec City and Hartford!  It's a crime that all of these cities are without a team.  I know that both Hartford and Winnipeg have stated they want another team.  As a matter of fact....if you guys didn't know....there is a developer here in Connecticut who has stated that he wants to build a new arena and bring an NHL team back to Hartford.  Not only that, he has publicly spoken that he is on the market to buy an NHL team.  He is looking at all possibilities.  He said he would buy a team first.  During the last week of the NHL season, this developer and Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez went to Minnesota to watch a Wild game and meet with the Wild owners.  They spoke to them about what they did to re-acquire an  NHL team.  The Whalers were stolen.....from the Hartford fans. Peter Karmanos, Hurricane owner, is enemy number one in this state.  He purchased the team to move it.  \n  Unfortunately, Kansas City is a strong city to get the first NHL team in any relocation. They have a new arena and are just waiting for the right opportunity.  I hope that Hartford, Winnipeg and Quebec City will return to the NHL someday!

Do you mean the team or are you referring to native american men?\n\nSo you are referring to Native American men. Braves is a name used to describe a Native American warrior.  Some feel that the use of this term as a sports mascot is demeaning to Native Americans.  I'm not sure?  Some teams are also called "The Pioneers".  Usually all teams have a drawing of a character that represents the name of the team.  The ones for Braves teams sometimes are offensive because of the exagerated nature of their stereotypical ethnic characteristics.  I.E. red skin, big nose, etc.  Anyway, so you'd like some other names for Braves?  I have heard of teams called Redskins, Chiefs, Bucks, Indians, and Warriors.  I have also heard of teams named after specific tribes.  Hope this helps you.

I don't think so because there have been so many new rivals. Also, who wants to see the same teams play your team over and over without any diversity. Would you want to see the same exact schedule ever year, not me. I say thanks for the new teams.  Side note, Go Cowboys, Yeah!!!!

Read up on Auburn University athletics.  The team is called by a different name than the registered name and nothing matches.

Actually if the name of the park does not glorify one person or corporation it seems like a good name. Yea name it after the type of park or arena to the team of the area that pertains to that sport. If it is commercially sponsored it kills the spirit of a team identity. What if the Roman Colisieum was named after some rich temporary corporation of its time, do you think it would of been marveled as the greatest arenas of all times?! Imagine Bartles and James Colisium, or Rigo Spumanti Winer-arena! ... but I bet in that stadium there must of been at least  one wardrobe malfunction per games at halftime! Also it was designed for all sports, even chariot races, maybe they could of called it Chariot-ona 500! There is where you can put your greedy sponsors, on the chariots themselves!

Because Lamar Hunt(owner of the Kansas City Chiefs) saw his daughter playing with a high bounce ball as we call them. He asked her what is was called. She said it was a superball, yeah another name for the same thing. He liked the name and suggested naming the NFL Championship game the Super Bowl. I think though that you are mistaken with the World Series of Baseball when only the U.S. and Canada have teams that can play in it. You are now just getting picky and silly. Super Bowl just a refrence to importance and how great it is not to country.

Hockey is a cover up for Honkey. Its is a White sport, hence NBA stands for Nothing But Africans, and NFL is for Negros For Life and MLB is for Majority Latin Baseball. So it makes sense that the NHL is National Honkey league!

Montreal and Quebec in general have had poor experiences with sports teams, (Habs excluded).  They have had CFL, NHL and MLB teams all bolt from the province because the support locally and government wise is not there.  Government wise, big name sports teams help with tourism.  Toronto's team is financially secured as they are owned by the same people who own the Toronto Maple Leafs.  Vancouver is any ones guess why they could not make it...the name sucked they made a few bad draft picks and no one wanted to play in Vancouver.  I think Las Vegas would be a great town for basketball...has anything there ever failed.  It even made Wayne Newton a household name.

I wish they would. It would be good for baseball. However, they need to win their division or be the wild card before they can compete for the right to play in the World Series. Both are highly unlikely in the next three years. They just do not have the talent/

You've nailed it Jen.  The truth!!  All of these people who claim to disagree with you are just not being honest with themselves.  Of course they wish their teams were as successful as the Yankees.  What fan wouldn't?  The bottom line is that money or not the players still have to get the job done on the field.  Georgie is always talking about the Yankees not winning a world series in this century.  The fact is the Tigers haven't won still 1984.  So what is your point Georgie?  The Tigers are nothing more than a one hit wonder.  Big deal, you won a pennant.  You are all missing the point.  It's all about the legend of the Yankees and how it overshadows all of baseball.  No matter what the other teams do, it's still all about the Yankees and how your teams compare.  Some of you just have to make your hateful comments to relieve your frustration.  I think that's pitiful.  Instead of being mad at the Yankees what don't you turn to your own teams ownership and ask them why they don't put a winner on the field.  And don't give me this money crap.  All franchises have the money to buy anyone they want.  It's a matter of stepping up to the plate and doing it.  Obviously they don't have the guts.

No, there will never be a team in CT. Too close to Boston and NY City. As a Connecticutter you either like the Sox or the Yanks, you like the Patriots, and you pick the Celtics or the Knicks.... MAYBE there could be a NBA team then.\n Florida doesn't deserve baseball teams. The Devil Rays AND Marlins should bail on that loser state.

I think the name should and logo should stay as they are.Im from Cleveland and I think that the name is great and couldnt imagine them by another name or seeing another logo on a hat or shirt.

The Tigers are having their best season in a long time.  The Redwings and the Pistons both made it to the post season, which in of itself is an accomplishment.  Our beloved Bill Laimbeer could coach the shock to another WNBA championship.  But as long as the Lions are owned by Ford (the automotive industry is dead here) run my McMillan (who just can't create the vision), I am afraid their is little hope.  But at least Michigan has an underdog to root for.

As much as I would like for that to happen, it wont. Not as long as mike ilitch owns them. mike ilitch does not care about The Tigers, he is so wrapped in the deadwings. he makes wanna puke.
