Since it seems like most of the team names were based on a stereotype or funny/bad thing their hometown is known for, let's come up with some others:
Utah Missionaries
Colorado/Virginia Massacres
New Orleans Hurricanes
Detroit Gangsters
Oklahoma Bombers
South Carolina Rebels
Topeka Protesters
Any others?

Seriously- can ANY of out professional teams win? Twins suck. Timberwolves suck. Wild suck. Vikings are doing ok this year but there's a 10-1 shot they will blow it.

I am a man and I would gladly give birth to a baby if it were Keira Knightley's.

Father Anthonis, why do you think "Colorado Massacres" has anything to do with "school shootings?" I'm not even FROM the United States and I can think of many other possible reasons why "Colorado Massacres" (and "Virginia Massacres") makes sense. What about the Ludlow Massacre of April 20th, 1914? Or the "Sandcreek Massacre" of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians on November 29, 1864? In Virginia there is the famous "Indian Massacre" of 1622. Or the "Fort Seybert Massacre" in West Virginia in 1758? And on and on. You could take any state and/or city and add "Massacre" to the end and it would most likely make sense and relate to history. Humans are fundamentally violent, the difference with Americans is that, whether it's deserved or not, Americans have a reputation in general for being proud of their violence/wars/atrocities/OT attitudes.
And even if the OP was referring to school shootings, so what? It's not politically correct, is that it? Let's be blunt, like I said, I am not American, and when I think of Colorado, school shootings is a well-known stereotype not just in the US but around the world. Last time I checked, America was the only first-world country to still practice the death penalty by law. Point made.

shareYou should try being a Cleveland fan jc hbk- OUR most recent championship was 1964 -the AFL equivalent of the Super Bowl. Since then we've come close a couple times- 1997 World Series and making the 2007 NBA Finals. At least Minnesota has the 87 and 91 World Series victories.
shareMakes it kinda hard to get excited for the season doesn't it? Yikes, I didn't realize there was a worse record than Minnesota. I guess I'm just sick of our teams trading anyone that's good.
