I can think of a few reasons

I think we should all probably be a little kinder to each other. I’ve seen such vitriol lately and it bums me out

 

Probably a symptom of the culture at large the last several years.

 

Knowing I need to go to bed because I don’t want to sleep until noon, but I’m not tired at all

 

I’m in the same boat as you. Usually I’m in bed by now, but I had a coffee at about 6:30 and I’m also still a bit amped because my wife and I went out and did karaoke with some of her friends tonight. I wanna go to sleep but I’m wired

 

I’m on summer vacation. It’s only been a little over a week so far, but I’m at the point where I forget what day it is.

 

a lot of children in my area have been disappearing lately and it’s heartbreaking. a local boy who was missing for a few days turned up today tho so that’s a blessing. just really sad stuff tho

 

Not the first person to think about this I’m sure but I find it quite strange how some sports teams are named after terrible things.

Carolina Hurricanes
Colorado Avalanche

Those two are ones that always come to mind when I think of this kind of thing. Like, nothing good ever comes from a hurricane or an avalanche so why do we name sports teams with words associated with bad things lol. And like, imagine your experience a hurricane or an avalanche or have someone die or get injured in something like that and now every time you interact with that sports teams you have a constant reminder of it. Just find it weird.

 

Utah Jazz

 

most football teams have some unseemly names

a good deal of sports teams have racist names really

basketball teams are mostly immune to this I guess. I mean the Utah Jazz is fucking hilarious

 

the Pelicans is just a terrible name

 

the NY Yankees get a pass for whatever reason but even that one is strange to me

 

Utah Jazz started in New Orleans. Still funny they kept the name though.

 

While we’re on the topic of teams, I still think it’s ridiculous that the Angels are the Los Angeles Angels, despite the fact they haven’t been in LA for decades. Just suck it up that your in Anaheim ffs

 

back when I used to do quite a bit of acid my friends and I called it Utah Jazz

 

Yeah I feel like them, along with the Dodgers are the two most popular and “classic” MLB teams. They get a pass because they’re iconic

Although, as a lifelong Dodgers fan, I even can admit that their name is weird. It makes sense understanding the context of when they were based in Brooklyn, but still…

 

Also, no offense to Cincinnati, but what the fuck is a red

 

“The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City, where they don’t allow music”

 

SAT LAKE CITY

 

All the Pittsburgh team names are great and all their colors match which rules.

 

FUCK

 

Colors yes names ehhhhh

 

I never realized that until now

 

steelers - great name
penguins - great name
pirates - great name

so you are wrong

 

Steelers - great name
Penguins - makes no sense
Pirates - makes no sense


Steelers fit perfectly for Pittsburgh. What do the other two have to do with the city?

 

Penguins originated in Pittsburgh and then spread out to other parts of the world. (Actually it was from a naming constant but the arena they originally played in was called the igloo). And pirates is just a cool name for a baseball team and they’ve always had dope logos.
