I was watching the Pistons game tonight and realized that almost all American professional sports teams end in the letter "s". There are 8 teams that don't end in "s", can you name them all?
Going with "legal name" is getting a little picky for a fun thread, DYT? The OP didn't ask for legal names....
See OP's intent above, as I noted before, it's the nicknames. (Only name mentioned was Pistons, no reference to where they're from.)
We're on a few tangents here, which I think started with you trying to claim Anaheim as part of the team's name. It's not what the OP is talking about. So I responded to another poster's use of the term "official" name, which you twisted into a header of the "official web site", so I tried to clarify the term "official" by calling it the "legal name". I can't pin it down better than that.
In conversation, the teams' names get shortened to "Pistons" "Cubs" or "Angels". That's the name ending in 's' that the OP is talking about. Some people probably don't even know that the teams have a different official, legal name than what they see shortened in the news to include only the City and nickname, but they do.
AAh cool. So St John isn't the mascot. I get it.
No, it's team names. .. They used to be the Redmen, not PC, so now it's the Red Storm.
And you didn't question Illinoi
s?!
