The world of sport has a new worst team name

I knew I hated that shithole of a state for a reason.

What have they done

Des Moines has given their new hockey team a (what I perceive to be) crude nickname that is probably meant to be a nod to the old meat-packing plants in Iowa (there used to be a lot in Nebraska as well...there's less now, I think - there's definitely less now in Omaha - but I think there still are some). I'm not a vegan/vegetarian or a member of PETA or anything like that, but I just think it's a little bit offensive. Here in Omaha we have an indoor football team that's idiotically called the Beef, but in my opinion this is actually worse. Both are ridiculous, though, and I can't imagine they help improve their cities' reputations on a broader level.

We could be the Manchester tater hash or Man egg, chips & beans with a cup of tea and two rounds of bread City.
