WNBA aside, what are some of the dumbest team names in pro sports?

Oklahoma City Thunder - horrible. lame. gay. all at the same time.

LA Clippers - wtf is a clipper? i think of a grooming utensil.

LA Lakers - yeah, the city is known for its lakes. too lazy to change its name after the move.

Utah Jazz - another example of a lazy franchise.

San Diego Padres - the Fathers?

Houston Texans - very creative... its like naming your team the New York New Yorkers.

Minnesota Wild - as if hockey wasn't unpopular enough... about 95% of the teams all have stupid names.

Anaheim (Mighty) Ducks - even the players are embarrassed about this one

how is the Wild a stupid name? and 95% of hockey teams have stpuid names. this coming from a guy who makes his name doo doo bird. (which might be the worst name i've seen in these boards ever)

All the Kansas City teams’ names are based on positions in a government/monarchy/royalty

Chiefs
Royals
Wizards
Monarchs (Negro league)
Knights (independent league basketball)
Scouts (hockey)
Kings (basketball)

Funny, since the Wild have sold out every home game in their history.

"I'll have you know whataclush that the duck is one of the most noble agile creatures in the animal kingdom. Have you guys ever seen a flock of ducks flying in perfect formation? It's beautiful. It's pretty awesome the way they all stick together. ducks never say die. Ever see a duck fight? No way. You know why? Because the other animals are afraid. They know thatr if they mess with one duck they gotta deal with the whole flock. I'm proud to be a duck, and I'd be proud to fly with anyone of you. So how bout it who's a Duck?"
