Some sports team's names makes no sense at all, let me tell you about the one I think its the worst.
While there are some silly nicknames in sports such as Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers, and Charlotte Bobcats (named not for the cat but the owner Bob Johnson). The worst nickname in sports has to LOS ANGELES ANGELS OF ANAHEIM. There are many reasons this name is hideously bad but lets start with these three 1. The team is neither in Los Angeles City or County and it is a huge county.2. Of Anaheim was a trade off to the city3. The translation of Los Angeles Angels is the Angel Angels
There are many ways they could have improved the name like my favorite, going back to the original name when they moved to Anaheim many years ago --- California Angels
The Anaheim City Council is expected to vote Tuesday to enter lease negotiations with the Angels that could keep the team in the city through 2057 but enable the team to drop the clumsy "of Anaheim" suffix from its name.
The two sides already have agreed that the Angels will have sole control over the team name, according to a memorandum posted on the city's website.
In 2005, Moreno changed the team name to "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim," in order to satisfy a lease provision requiring the name to "include the name Anaheim therein." The city sued Moreno and lost.
Under the new deal, Moreno could simply call his team the Los Angeles Angels.

I wonder why the Angels and the Anaheim City Council have no desire to separate themselves from a metropolis that considers Orange County as sophisticated as a cowboy who shows up to dinner in his work boots. Even the Orange County Angels would have been better though maybe the county better look at a name change since Orange trees are going the way of the Dodo bird. Apparently a $200 million renovation of Angels Stadium is coming. This might all have a happy ending if the renovation includes the removal of the silly fake boulders and waterfall from beyond the left-field wall. There is enough fantasy going on next door at Disneyland, please restore Angels stadium to a baseball park we can be proud of.
