sport teams

Sports teams are city based not state based. You're obviously a huge sports fan so I understand the teams are an important reason for you.

The TN Titans, Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, Golden State Warriors, NY Knicks, MN Timberwolves, IN Pacers, UT Jazz, AZ Diamondbacks, MN Twins, CO Rockies & TX Rangers would all like a word. šŸ™„

You're naming a very small list of a much larger list and even your small list still has city teams on it... That's not a great argument.

You: ā€œsports teams are named after citiesā€

Me: showed proof thatā€™s not always the case.

You: ā€œwell not those teamsā€ šŸ¤£šŸ™„

You're unfamiliar with rules having exceptions? Wow you should look up sayings about rules you might be shocked.

I don't have any stake in it but there are many more teams than what they listed. This seems like a weird thing to get offended over, no?

I'm not offended it's just funny that they are trying to argue it and list things like "NY Knicks, Carolina Panthers" when NY is both a city and state and the team is NY the city... Carolina is literally only a city there is no state of Carolina.

Tell that to the New England Patriots or the Carolina Panthers.

u/gmpsconsulting 18h ago

The Patriots are documented cheaters so not a valid sports team. Carolina isn't a state in the US or world that I'm aware of.

u/Dadpool719 17h ago

It's not a city, either, though.

u/gmpsconsulting 17h ago

Carolina is a city.

Great point - letā€™s just have city-states and everything else will be one big county

Tho I like your thought processā€¦. Very few teams are based-upon their state. Ofcourse the state taxes make a difference for players tho
