Warriors considering a name change

...but not the Warriors part.

Story at ESPN.com

The Golden State Warriors say they will be seeking input from fans on whether they should change their name after announcing earlier this week they'd purchased a 12-acre property in the Mission Bay district of San Francisco that they plan to use for a new arena.

The franchise will keep the Warriors moniker they've used since they were founded in Philadelphia in 1946 but could readopt the name for which they were known when they played in San Francisco from 1962-71 -- the San Francisco Warriors.

"We're very curious what our fans think of that," Warriors president and CEO Rick Welts told ESPN.com. "I couldn't imagine making that decision in the very near future, but we definitely want to see what our fans prefer."

They just want to get out of Oakland.

They should do it. wtf is a golden state anyway.

It's California's nickname.

Even so the Warriors aren't representative of entire California considering there are three other teams in the state which goes back to my questioning of their team name, wtf is a golden state anyway.

It's what teams do when they play in smaller market cities. The Angels used to be the California Angels, but you have Minnesota, Indiana, Utah, New Jersey in the NBA.

nah, sounds like a college

Those states don't/didn't have other NBA teams so it still makes sense if the team name represents the entire state and the teams used the state's name instead of going for a lousy nickname.
Granted that if they used California Warriors it still would be stupid, should have just used the city? name and be the Oakland Warriors, it's like they are embarrassed to be associated with Oakland and afaik the Lakers were already in California when the San Fran Warriors changed location and became the Golden State Warriors.
Also, fuck baseball Q. Get that shite outta here.

Gay.
When I typed 'gay' autocorrect changed it to 'fat', wtf.

What is wrong with GSW? It's one of the most unique names imo

As for "wtf is a golden state" -- they got dibs on that

Fag gay -- no auto-correction. Only a filter for you I assume

It probably assumes you've already got the videos filtered to gay and is just inserting the next search term.
