A California lawmaker has introduced a bill aimed at the name change of the Anaheim Angels.
The proposed legislation by Umberg, D-Anaheim, would require professional sports teams to print disclaimers on their tickets, advertising and promotional materials if they do not play most of their home games in the geographic location used in their name.Of course the literal translation of Los Angeles - whose real city name is "el pueblo de nuestra senora la reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula" - is 'The Angels', making the team name altogether redundant.Moreno changed the team's name last month from Anaheim Angels to Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
On a side note, how long before atheist headline whore Michael Newdow sues Los Angeles for violating the mythical "seperation of church and state"?
