It's lazy and diminishes what cultural identity we do have.

Jam goes on toast. Babies wear nappies. The abbreviation of mathematics is maths. Etc.
Can't stand how a lot of the AFL coaches are starting to say 'dee-fense' instead of defence.

BALKAN, you should watch some Japanese sports.

Nick 'Honey Badger' Cummins plays for Coca Cola Red Sparks. Berrick Barnes and Ben McCalman play for Panasonic Wild Knights.

I don't know any baseball players but some of the teams in their baseball comp have some interesting names too.

Like watermelons, grape soda etc. KFC is associated with black (African American) people by people making racial stereotypes.

Who on Earth thought making a KFC burger black would be a good idea?
Excuse me! Grape Soda! Everybody knows it by its correct name of purple! :)

The IPL doesn't need sponsorship for zany team names.

Rising Pune Super Giants are another favourite.
"Rising" is actually part of the company owner of the franchise.


The Sunrisers Hyderabad is just as annoying. Like, WTF is a Sunriser?

There was also the Sahara Pune Warriors India. And still in existence, the Royals Challengers Bangalore
