Miami Marlins
Ok, this really made me mad. Joe Buck mentioned about the Marlins name change from Florida to Miami. Ok, it started trending on Twitter. Most of the people did not know of this change; a change that has been announced for at least three years now. I just can't believe how bad some fans are and don't know anything other than "their" team. Well, some don't even know that.
So, my question is, did you know about the change, and do you agree with my frustration? |

Re: Miami Marlins
yes and don't understand.
You're frustrated about the name change? Or because people didn't know about it?

Re: Miami Marlins
The only time I pay attention to the Marlins is the week before the trade deadline.

Re: Miami Marlins
I knew about it, I think it's a silly change and it doesn't surprise that people didn't know, it doesn't revolve around the Red Sox or yankees.

Re: Miami Marlins
I knew about it the day the ballpark plans were announced as approved.
I kind of thought it was well known, but I see that it wasn't

Re: Miami Marlins
Don't understand why this upsets you, 21.
Being a Fan isn't a profession. You don't have to be GOOD at it. Or in the know. Or even up to date. That's the nice thing. Fans get to choose how much time and effort they put into their "fandom".
