Why can't Europe's retarded brother be normal for once?
Why the fuck are American teams named like this? Do they want to appeal to 13 year olds? Imagine a conversation between grown men using these team names, it just sounds awkward.

I mean, all american teams being franchises you can't name them anything else. What if Golden State BC got moved to Nevada? What would you do then? The problem resides in more than just naming.

Also, most europeans do it too in basketball which is pretty funny, definitely doesn't help the sport grow

At least they are named the same way for a century

Additional bonus: No relocation

Name them after historic events, locations or presidents

these are all cool names though with a rich history. You see, unlike in Europe, we have more than one sport, so we can't just use the city name to differentiate between teams, we have to create a different team name for each sport.

Newsflash, I don't give a shit about you or your smelly Caucasian friend. You really think Americans care what some irrelevant European shitholes think about our sports teams?

Arsenal are known as the Gunners, Chelsea are the Blues, Man U are the Red Devils
I don't see the problem

Arsenal and Chelsea are fine
Man U is cringe (I have to bear that this is the club everyone follows here because of Mikey the Aryan)
>>
>>76509710
The Vikings got their name from the rich Scandinavian history and culture in Minnesota (of course now it would be more appropriate if they were called the Somali Pirates)

The Bears and the Bulls both got their name from the Chicago Stock Exchange, hence the term "bear" and "bull" markets.

This is true, in fact I pretty much only watch the national football team play.

Juve are referred to as The Old Lady, Real are also called Galacticos. There are cooler names with European teams than just (INSERT_PLURAL_OF_ANY_ANIMAL_OR_OBJECT)
>>
>>76509666

You could do that if your teams were actual sport clubs instead of semitic franchises

> FC Barcelona (Football, Handball, Basketball, Field Hockey, Futsal, and some other meme sports)
> FC Bayern Munich (Football, Handball, Basketball)
>Real Madrid (Football, Basketball)
>Olympiakos (Football, Basketball)
>>
>>76509953
>Football Club Barcelona Basketball

Makes sense.
>>
>Support a team from childhood
>Owner of team send you a big FUCK YOU and move the franchise to the other side of the country
>Years of devotion thrown in the trash can

Now that is retard.
>>
>>76510058
It's a little easier to move around because we weren't dumb enough to put a team in every village with 1,000 people.
>>
>>76509946
>Galacticos

Wasn't Merengues?
>>
>>76510045

Tbh it's actually called Lassa, the name of the sponsor, because they're cucks and also bad as gonorrhea at basketball
>>
>>76510058
>Devoting your time and life to a sports business
Now that is a retard
>>
>>76510158

Yes.

Los merengues or los blancos.

Los Galácticos was just an embarrassing meme in the early '00s.

Mostly the English ones (add american tycoons to the list).

There's Paris Sheikh Germain, AChina Milan and a few more here and there. We have Valencia and Malaga under sheikh/chang rule but that's it. It's mostly the EPLEL, desu.
>>
>>76510220
no, they are owned by chinese
>>
>>76510306
and Espanyol and partially Atletico and Villareal, I believe Real Sociedad also and some others I'm probably forgetting
>>
Because of newspaper headline writers and fans

People wouldn't want to write "New York Baseball Club Wins" because it takes up a lot of space.

So they came up with nicknames (Yankees/Yanks)

It stuck and frankly it gives the teams an identity than generic 'City Name FC'

Don't know about Espanyol (I doubt it desu) but not Real Sociedad. Atleti and Villareal have foreign investors but they don't control the clubs.
>>
>>76510446
do you live under a rock?
why do you think Espanyol started to invest big in the market lately?

Actually the Galácticos were only the generation of Zidane, R9, Figo, Raúl, etc. Real has had a lot of names depending on the generation of players they had ("Los yeyés", "La Quinta del Buitre"...)

>Leicester Tigers
>Northampton Saints
>London Saracens

>Sale Sharks
>Exeter Chiefs

this kind of name, if rare, is not something never done in Europe

because it is just sports. the names are supposed to be fun for kids. why do you take sports so serious?

That armo is a /pol/tard who conflates Jews with Israel. Many American Jews show general disdain for Israel
>>
Originally they were all unofficial nicknames, same as European soccer clubs. They sprung up organically then gradually became incorporated into the official name. This only applies to older clubs though. New teams that hire focus groups in order to come up with some shit like "Panthers" is gay as fuck.

College team nicknames tend to be a lot better and more tailored to where they represent since most are 100 years old.

All British clubs have retarded names. Germans once too I think

I mean quite a few baseball team names are pretty old too. Cubs have been called that since 1903 (they were named other shit when they were founded in 1876) and same with the Reds and other teams that are from the 1800s

american teams have silly mascots because american pro sports is rooted in ncaa culture and battles between rival universities. thats why sports teams in america are expected to have silly mascots. it is an imitation of school rivalries. schools need mascots to have an identity.
europe pro sports is rooted in a culture of battles between rival nations. which is why they cum on themselves over pride and tradition and those sort of things.
