List of funny names in sports
For years I've always had a knack for coming up with different funny name variations for players and teams. I just felt like I could put that to good use in this hub. Some of it might be funny to you, some of it not. Some of them are common and I didn't come up with them, but I thought they were funny. Whatever floats your boat. It's all in good fun here, and no malice is intended. So hopefully some of you aren't offended by some of the names I came up with if it concerns your favorite players or teams.
