Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim? What?
So the Los Angeles/California/Anaheim Angels have undergone another name change. Now they are the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim". What? How is that a team name? I'm so confused now. Do I refer to them as "Los Angeles" or as "Anaheim"? What is going to be on the front of their uniforms now? "LA of ANA?" "Los Anahemgelos"? I don't think "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" would fit on the front of a jersey, but I guess if they can make "Van Landingham" fit on the back, maybe "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" isn't too far fetched.
Personally I think this is stupid. Apparently so does the Anaheim City Council. The shift to "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" is a marketing ploy, but still, maybe it's too narrowly focused. I mean, they're now neglecting California, the West Coast and the rest of the United States. I propose the new name of the Anaheim Angels be the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in Orange County California residing in the Pacific Time Zone in the United States of America". Think of how many people in the US will identify with the Angels now. People growing up in West Virginia can think "hey that team represents me, I live in America!". Ridiculous.
