Pedantry in Search of Cleverness
Jump to Comments
I’ve been reading in the soccer media that a group of owners has bought the rights to the names of several old NASL teams. One of these was the Boston Minutemen, but they did not purchase the name of the other Boston team, the Tea Men. I’ve been wracking my brain trying to come up with some sort of clever angle for why the name “Minutemen” would be more palatable than “Tea Men” given current politics, but no dice.

Afraid the connotations might be bad for business?
