Which league has the worst team names?

[hc5duke]

I needed something to keep my mind off the horrible officiating to bring my BP back down... Which of these three leagues has the worst team nicknames? My vote's for Arena football, but WNBA has some pretty god-awful names as well (I'm aware many of them are supposed to be related to their NBA counterparts). Here's the full list for all three leagues

Rush
Crush
Rampage
Brigade
Gladiators
Destroyers
Desperados
Dragons
Soul
Rattlers
Avengers

Wizards
Revolution
Red Bulls
"Toronto FC"
"Chivas USA"

"FC Dallas"
Dynamo
Galaxy
"Real Salt Lake"
Earthquakes

Sun
Shock
Fever
Liberty

I can't vote for Arena Football because although many names are lame, they do have Dragons and SabreCats. I'll go for MLS because, the Crew?

I'm picking the WNBA because I think they just named their teams after characters from American Gladiators.

If I cared at all, I'd vote for the MLS, but I don't so I won't :D

I don't know, the Chicago Fire and the New England Revolution are two of the most creative nicknames I've ever seen come about in the last 10 years. The corporate sponsors in MLS dilute the pool a bit (The Red Bulls?), but those two names are just awesome.

Agreed. The Fire have pretty killer unis, too. Also, while some of the Arena League team names are terrible (Soul?), some others are awesome. Dragons, for example, are always cool, and I also think "Desperados" is pretty cool. Some of the now-defunct franchises had rather interesting names as well. Remember the Iowa Barnstormers? They had an awesome pilot's goggle graphic on their helmets.
I voted for the WNBA. The only remotely cool nickname in that league is the Lynx.

There are no names worse than Real Salt lake, FC Dallas, Red bulls and Chivas USA. And they wonder why soccer doesn't catch on in America.
