Omaha Royals Name Change

(Omaha, Nebraska) The Omaha Royals baseball team, a AAA farm club for the Kansas City Royals, has announced that its name will change next year to the Omaha Storm Chasers.

In all candor, I think the name is terrible. In a competitive sport, where the goal is to be out front -- ahead of the rest of the league -- it's arguably bad mojo to name the team after a bunch of semi-professional followers of storms. I'd suggest a name that means leader, rather one that says we follow the leader.
