IMHO it's more likely to be something to do with the actice player base of 2000 (and that's only the "official" figure) the state of public ignorance, media dissinterest (or at best, ambivalnce). Marketable Ultimate is a long way off and yes, making a token sacrifice of individual teams names is draconian. Where do you stop? Anybody dislike Red's communist allusions? And besides, if you want to address "drugs" in sport, teams names are the least of your worries. Open up that particular can of worms at your perril. Mark Hyperextension-Hyperflexion Injury
