as grim dux alluded to there are many names thast are a bit more organic (steelers, oilers, seahawks, 49ers,patriots) but are there many jaguars in jacksonville or titans in tennessee, or are those nicknames purely cos they have the same letter as the place ?
I get that and don't disagree. My comment was more of a built up response to a number of different posts over time.
I was really pissed when the Bullets changed their name to Wizards in a fit of PC.
Edit: Which is really fucked up, as wizard is also a position in the KKK. This in a mostly black city.
