	blackhawks was named for a native american. Red wings aren't refering to a bird either

	I wanted to do this as well but it's already been done. http://www.sporcle.com/games/awesnap/pro_birds Also, can someone tell me what Red Wings does refer to? I'm curious.

	How about the Toronto Raptors? I know they use a dinosaur as their logo, but the quiz is "teams with bird names" and raptor is definitely a bird name.

	It accepts just "Jays" but not "Blue Jays." You need to fix that.

	nickvas:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 05:36 GMT		6 points
	blue jays

	I never knew a thrasher was a bird. Learn something new everyday.

	column widths are wacky too - sport/league column needs to be narrower and team name wider. Need to accept Blue Jays. Black hawks might be named for a person/tribe, but they were surely named for a bird, so they should be here.

	It should accept blue jays.

	CANNABIS: No they are not, their official name is still the Blue Jays. Just because it only says "Jays" on their uniforms does not mean that is their actual name. For example, on the White Sox hats it only says "Sox" but that doesn't mean they have dropped the "White"

	Dude, fix the column widths

	i think he was getting the jays confused with the rays, who are no longer referred to as the devil rays

	Call them what you want, doesn't change the fact they're the Blue Jays.

	Yet another sports quiz with the NHL teams at the bottom. :(

	Chocolatl:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 23:00 GMT		2 points
	The official name of the Toronto team is the Blue Jays, as per their web site. It's okay to accept the Jays, but Blue Jays should be accepted as well.

	steveholt:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 23:00 GMT		1 point
	It accepts "Toronto Blue Jays" just not "Blue Jays."

	kaminskikov:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 23:15 GMT		2 points
	i'm pretty sure its only taking jays b/c it interprets it as a last name, ive seen the same problem with sox

	emanuel:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 00:18 GMT		2 points
	it should accept blue jays, whats wrong with the width?, and blackhawk is not a bird even if it has hawk in it

	emanuel:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 00:19 GMT		3 points
	i take that back, change the width

	stanvick:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 01:09 GMT		2 points
	With regards to the Blue Jays, the issue here is lazy quizmaking. The creator has enabled "accept last word only" and thus every answer shows up if you type the team name, except in the case of the Blue Jays. All the creator needs to do is put in "Toronto Blue Jays/blue jays" and the latter will be accepted. And yes, the column widths could use some adjusting as well.

	Why was my comment about Phoenix Suns voted down? The Phoenix was a mythological bird.

	jpl04002:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 04:06 GMT		4 points
	Because the city is Phoenix. The team name is Suns.

	Blackhawks is a reference to native Americans, as pointed out earlier. Red Wings is an homage to a team the owner played on called the Winged Wheelers. Because Detroit was the motor city, the name fit well. Just because something has wings doesn't mean it'a a bird.

	** this quiz ing messed up **

	mjd118:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 00:59 GMT		-2 points
	@stanvick, there is still that space in between the blue and the jays, so thats still considered a last name. its not lazy. if anything the creator was trying to be helpful; would you want to write the city for each answer?

	PeterStorm:	Oct 27th, 2009 at 22:57 GMT		0 points
	Not that I want to throw more fuel on the fire, but a "redwing" is actually a type of bird. However, I still don't think Red Wings should be an answer since it's not referring to the bird.

	imaima:	Jul 10th, 2010 at 02:54 GMT		2 points
	blue jays problem still exists.

	jaybrad77:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 17:47 GMT		1 point
	Alright, if the creator can't name all the teams, "Blue Jays", then he's an idiot

	the hint heading is way too big
