	Before anyone asks, here is my rationale on a few teams: Buffalo Bills and Sabres (both in because the city name is an animal), Nashville Predators (in because many animals are predators), Minnesota Wild (out even though their logo is an animal - "wild" doesn't convey animal to me the way predator does). I'm open to the thoughts of others on these and will change if enough people disagree with my thinking.

	Well asie from the irrational thought you have already used. The Thrashers are a bird, Sonics should eb the Supersonics though they are NOT EVEN A TEAM anymore they are now the THUNDER.

	My bad on the Sonics. I actually added after I create the quiz and was testing it. Brain fart, I guess. You're right on the Thrashers. I didn't realize they are named after the state bird - the brown thrasher. Revisions have been made.

	Chargers refers to a horse, as i understand it.

	@snodge: Not sure about that. Will have to investigate. I assumed their name was a reference to some kind of electrical "charge" due to the graphic on their helmet.

	According to one site, the Chargers' name has this origin: "The name of the chargers came from the song where the crowd chants charge."

	I was wondering why the Boston Bruins are not listed, though I'm not entirely sure what a Bruin is.

	@juniormint: A bruin is a bear.

	isn't Phillies a pun on filly, a young female horse?

	MSUKent:	Jun 18th, 2011 at 21:27 GMT	1 point
	@njb042: Here's what Wiki says: "After being founded in 1883 as the "Quakers", the team changed its name to the "Philadelphias", after the convention of the times. This was soon shortened to "Phillies".[4]"

	Perhaps Cowboys (cow), Pirates (rat), & Giants (ant) should be removed as well since they contain an animal in their first name. At least the first two anyways...

	You left out the Blackhawks. They are named after a Native American tribe.
