You can't use lines like "The Peckers were stiff", "The Peckers stood up in wet and slippery conditions", "The opposition were on top of the Peckers early", just for example.

You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.

Bit of controversy in the US atm when someone suggested the Nets be renamed the Niggers. Some great names in our SFL. Flagstaff Hill used to be the Bushpigs. Also still have the cockledivers, emus, wineflies and the mighty shoes!

Fighting Koalas Team: Columbia College League: NCAA Lifespan Of Nickname: 1905-Present
Koalas don't fight, they hang from trees and eat leaves and berries all day. They're also lazy, cute, and cuddly. Why on earth would you name sports teams after this animal?

Koalas do fight, and sound like demons when they do.

They also don't eat berries. Generally sleep most of the time but they can get aggressive.

The mighty Ipswich Town FC are officially nicknamed the Blues. "Tractor boys" is a slang term used to describe the team by supporters & outsiders. It is a pretty common way of describing the club tho.
