I'll bet there's at least a piano bar in SLC, and LA has that tar pit that's practically a lake.
If they'd moved from Camelot or Oz or Id, I could at least understand, but they were here, and they changed their name to the Wizards. That's the worst to me. Back to Bullets or forward to seadogs or whatever. Don't stand still.
Some Japanese baseball team's name translates to the Fighting Hams or something like that. That's a name.
