The former usually arises from relocation, and though it would have made sense to re-name the team upon relocating, I don't mind them all that much. The latter are usually old, traditional names that the teams can't bring themselves to part with. I also don't mind those. Silly names don't bother me, but I can at least admit that they're silly.  |
I can not disagree with that and yes i would love to see both Sox names changed but to what? My choice for Chicago would be Hitmen, honoring the Sox and our mafia past. Boston Strong is the 1st name that comes to mind. Fightin' Irish is a name i use in my ABF so I am partial to that. We can not get the Redskins to change their name which some deem offensive, theres no way the Sox will change their names.
