Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

But... it's not a cogent rebuttal, since the same literally applies to the Football Team.

Well sure. My point is people make fun of one but not the other, and it makes no sense.

So? It's in the team name, and they could use Maryland. It doesn't make the name make any more sense.

In a slight topic change, Wentz is playing like a typical Browns QB.

Maryland already has a football team called the Ravens. That would be confusing. As much as it pains me to say it, I side with Velo Vol

They could call it the Landover Football Team. There's plenty of precedent for that.

But regardless, my point is that it's inconsistent to mock the NYC teams and NOT these others. Realistically, there's not going to be a football stadium in NY proper either.

I still think "The Football Team" is the way to go for the former Redskins.

Baltimore has a team. It's not the "Maryland Ravens". Their stadium is in Baltimore.
