	Another minute would have been handy. Also how about the Flyers as a bonus answer?

	The Raptors are named for a dinosaur, and the Flyers are not named for a bird. I actually checked these names out before putting the quiz. I also put thought into including the Washington Capitals, DC United (I know, not a big 4 sport), and the Washington Nationals who all have bird mascots, but are not named for "birds" themselves.

	What about the Blackhawks (their mascot is a Hawk)? And 1 minute is not enough time...too many teams to process for that long only.

	i definitely could have got them all w/ 2 minutes, but that's what makes it challenging. stop whining guys. great quiz awesnap. and btw cochiseTX, the blackhawks are named for an indian chief(hence the logo). though you could add them and some of the other teams mentioned here as bonuses.

	I think a minute is too short.

	what abt the blackhawks?

	kennyb:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 16:03 GMT		2 points
	Well researched. It is correct to NOT include: (1) the Blackhawks (taken from the nickname of the 333rd Machine Gun Battalion of the 86th Infantry Division during World War I, which was in turn taken from Chief Black Hawk, a Native American of the Sauk nation); the Raptors (named after the Velociraptors of Jurrasic Park fame--see the logo); or (3) the Flyers, whose name was meant to represent the speed of the game of hockey (ironic that the first successful Flyers' team was not exactly known for their speed and skills as much as their brawn).

	The Atlanta Hawks were originally the Tri-Cities Blachawks, named for the same war that birthed the Chicago Blackhawks name. It's certainly debatable that they should be included in this list.
