Obviously you do not understand the traditional Celtic view of the Fey.

People lived their lives in fear of the Fey. They paid tribute to the Fey in an attempt to bribe them to bother someone else, or even in an attempt to gain their aid.

You've absorbed far too much modern American perspective on what the Fey are . . ..



well your right I obviously don't understand. does Sidhe NOT mean "people of the Fairy hills?

Fairies in this case does NOT mean "pretty little girls with wings and hats made of flowers".

Fairies in this case means spirit beings who will rip your head off if you give them reason to.

Its a great name, one of the best colleges uses it so how could it be bad??? some people must not know what that college is cough* hustonJ cough*

No, I know what that college in the state of Florida, in the United States of America is.

I just hold the prejudice that teams in a Western European league should have names based on and in Western Europe.

That's why the "worst named" teams on my list are ones with American names.
