Ninh explains The worst sports teams names in history. There are some sports teams that are named after ridiculous, non-sensical, non-threatening, or just borderline racist names. When your team is called the ‘Banana Slugs’ or the ‘Fighting Artichokes’, you know you’re going to be the prime target for abuse.

There's a MLS team called the Chicago Fire. Basically they named their team after the worst disaster ever to happen to the city. It would be as if there was a professional sports team called the New Orleans Katrina, or the Boston Massacre, or the Oklahoma Bomber, or the San Francisco Earthquake, or the Los Angeles Riot, or the New York Jets...oh.

I think the Denver Nuggets, is the worst name in basketball...... I mean....... Nuggets... Nuggets of all things. I get its related to gold but all I can think of when I hear that name is chicken nuggets from McDonald's xD

Minnesota Wild have by far the most creative logo in sports. Love the cougar head/sunset, looks cool!

Indian isn’t a racial slur.

@tysonplett3328 4 года назад

Most people outside (and even inside) the United States don't know this, but Indian is accepted as the politically correct term by most Indians themselves. They don't like Native American because that's also the collective name for native people on the whole continent, and Indian is now unique to Natives of the US.

The Cleveland Indians were named after a Native American who played on the team before they were called the Indians. So there was no racist intention when naming the team. The same went for the redskins it was in honor of native Americans in the area. I don’t see it racist to call a team after a group of people. If those names are racist then the ND fighting Irish or Boston Celtics would be too.

For those who want to know, Wanka, also spelled Huanca, is the name of one of the pre-columbian civilizations of Peru.

I've got one that's pretty bad: The Ottawa Redblacks of the CFL.

Did anyone else notice that the 'Nads' logo is meant to resemble a penis with balls?

I was a public address announcer in college in the 1990s and my school hosted the Banana Slugs a couple of times for basketball. There were peals of laughter from the crowd when I made the announcement of the team nickname. Not that I blamed them! 🤣

If you haven't done one already, I think a video on the worst stadium names would be a great follow-up. Some of them are direct results of corporate ownership, and while you can't turn down money, that doesn't necessarily instill athleticism.

I graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 1985. Back then, the university had no formal sports. The students jokingly suggested the name "Banana Slugs," which the chancellor later nixed. He relented when the school's (informal) athletes loved it.

Funny but true fact since you brought up "Iowa Chops." There's a team called the Cedar Rapids Kernels, they're a minor league baseball team affiliated with the Twins. Naming the team after food I guess is a tradition.

Rio de Janeiro has had a small lower state league side called Futuro Bem Próximo (Really Close Future is the closest English translation I can think of) for a decade or two so far, I believe.
