name to Wizards was dumb, although the Washington Bullets doesn't really make sense anyway (the Baltimore Bullet was a train, I dont think there was ever a Washington Bullet train). Neither does the Utah Jazz (although the Jazz were originally in New Orleans, which makes complete sense).

I'm not sure why the Washington football team name change is getting such play today on the wacko board. The old name was clearly objectionable and should have been changed long ago.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
