If someone had said 10-15 years ago that we'd have teams styling themselves as "The Cowboys", "The Dolphins" and "The Orcas" they would have been laughed off.
These jokes demean the comp and make us a laughing stock.
If they cant think of a mascot that isn't Americanised or as weak as piss then they should just name themselves after the area they represent and leave it at that.
Though I certainly think the Dolphins and the Cowboys (And the Broncos & The Raiders) are a bit too American, I see nothing wrong with "Orcas". The Orca has a rather important place in traditional Maori Culture.
It'd be like Criticizing Norths for stealing Chicagos Name...
