Oh shit! Totally forgot about the San Jose Sharks.
Ohio was big into Chicago culture at the time so things from LA or NYC (respectfully) wasn’t seen too often and it was always the “black sheep” of the league that went against the norms of mid-west culture.
Avg mid-western: “San Jose Sharks…ohhh sounds Spanish”
I don’t think you meant it that way but it looks funny that you gave the average mid-westerner comment while also mentioning LA in response to San Jose.
Just for any actual avg midwesterners, San Jose is the same distance from LA as Chicago is from Cleveland. Or Indianapolis is from Pittsburg.
Yea I didn’t mean any disrespect, just that the name automatically implied it was a Cali team. Same with The Mets or Yankees, those 2 teams to a mid-westerner were essentially the entire east coast. Different times for sure lol
