Early Wednesday evening, the Los Angeles Times published a heavy hitter. The title read, “Los Angeles Angels? Disingenuous team name is as laughable as ever” by one esteemed Arash Markazi. Yes, the organization was under intense fire yet again for deigning to soil the good name of California’s largest city.
In his scathing, long-awaited review of the name change that happened literally three years ago, Markazi lambasted the “laughable” nature of such a name.
The worst part about the team’s name — outside of its complete disregard for geographic accuracy — is that it remains the most disingenuous name in sports.
