Anyone from Seattle offended or cringe at their team name?

Trying to go 6/6 so far I’ve got

1. Mumbai Indians of New York
2. Los Angeles Knight Riders (Night Riders aka the KKK really??)
3. Texas Super Kings (Texas would love being ruled by a king right?)
4. San Francisco Unicorns (not bad but they leaned into it a bit too much. Also we’re the sparkle army)
5. Washington Freedom (not bad again, just a little on the nose)

Don’t mean to offend anyone, just amused by these names

There's literally zero info on whether or not this is showing in the Caribbean. ESPNC claims that the match is playing on their channel but it's not available.

The Caribbean is a huge market for cricket outside South Asia but it seems to me like the people who run this sh*t don't care about any demographic beyond the Mainland South Asian demographic and their diaspora.

No, the live streams don't work for us either. Or at least me.

I know guys like Fin, Maxi, and some other guys are really good but I'm not sure if this is the best of the best. I went to some games and the way some of fans reacted to seeing certain players you definitely felt like they were seeing someone special. Like when Ashwin was in the stands everyone was looking at him and trying to say hi.

Where our men have qualified for our LA 2028. Women couldn't even when we are the host nation Currently there Rank in T20 of women is probably 20th and we need their rank to be in top 15 so they need to host matches against top 15 above and top 10 below as they can't currently beat above top 10 teams right now where they are ranked 20th it will be very difficult. so till december they need there rank to be in top 15 and currently they are not playing we have no matches being hosted for women till this year ends, and obviously other teams will also not play with us who are ranked before top 15 as they would want to qualify as well. USA cricket needs to do as many bilareteral matches as possible for women's team literally there are so many less matches and competitions for women compared to men in cricket everywhere.Literally ICC is so stupid is this how they want to grow the sport in biggest sports market. Just shame on so called ICC who is never fair or any countries except their favorite one.This is not how you grow a sport in the country by not making even host nation teams get qualified. with this nonsense way you will never be able to grow this sport to American audience. Icc is just shameful they literally do nothing good for associate countries now women team just have 4 months and they need to go 5 Ranking up then what they are this year only when olympics in is 2028. USA cricket board should do something and do the bilateral matches. even after being host nation if you can't qualify automatically why should American Audience support this sport it's not like other sports which are so famous in USA that you can qualify for being host nation why should we even support this sport here? I think our Country's government needs to do something about this so the women team can also qualify. Anyway I think olympics only happen and so successful because of Our Country. The streaming rights are also mostly paid by american companies. Also highest medals are brought in by our country champion players. if we boycott olympics and start our own 50 state olympics where in each 2 years one state gets to host 50 state olympics we will get amazing revenue as each state where it happens tickets will be sold and will generate a lot of revenue and The olympics which technically happen of all countries combined will stop and be over completely if we don't take part in it as a country what do you think?.I had this idea before so I thought I should share it with you guys as well. because anyways no one now wants to host olympics as hosting it brings a lot of debt on the country which is hosting it. So having our own kind of olympics is amazing we can let other countries take part in it also if we want to but if we host it we can get the revenue back from tickets. Anyways the moment USA Athletes stops going to the olympics it will stop. How's the idea?.and the athletes will also get fair chance as well.after being host country it will not happen to them that they can't qualify for not being at certain rank.

Compliment players, other teams or the league too!

$80 for a few empanadas and three ordinary bottles of Pepsi. $40 to park the car. I can't imagine why there's nobody here. A true economic mystery.

They are back for the championship but it felt like they had less matches this year. I think they squeezed in more double headers to and less single matches.
