I like the idea that there are no referees, you don't have to be the best and the emphasis is on having fun. Team names are all part of this (although admittedly a very small one). I think that as the sport gets more popular there will be more and more pressure to change its nature to fit in with that of other sports and be more socially acceptable. I like the sport as it is: DIFFERENT, and I don't see why we should have to change names of teams. I understand it will limit the range of potential sponsors but I think this is more a reflection on the publicity the sport gets rather than names of teams. Sunday league football teams in St. Andrews have no shortage of sponsors even with team names like "Shafters", "Inter Ya'Ma" and "The BJ Boys".
