Recently, in the English Rugby League (as opposed to the Rugby Union league
), all of the teams added nicknames to their real names. So the team that is closest to where I work (and for whom I couldn't give any more of a toss than any of the other teams in this rubbish sport) used to be called Wakefield Trinity. Now, thanks to the wonders of making the game more appealing to God knows whom, they are called the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats. Not Wakefield Wildcats, which would have been far more sensible, but the whole damned lot.
