Why do they even give "nicknames" to their team? This is an habit that only combines with Basketball, give a name based on the city or neighborhood of the team, or something to pay homenage to the team's history, but not "the city + dumbass nickname".

Only baseball and college athletics are old enough in the U.S. for this to have occurred naturally (think Detroit Tigers or Alabama Crimson Tide). Every team less than like 80 years old started off with a nickname because everyone else already had one
