I don't understand.

If a sports writer writes an article repeatedly using the word 'Yankees' instead of 'New York Yankees' ... or 'Dodgers' instead of 'Los Angeles Dodgers' ... and the reader hasn't a clue what he's talking about, then the chances are that the reader certainly isn't a baseball fan in the first place and couldn't possibly have the remotest clue what he's reading about!

Even ho chi minh nows who the yankees and dodgers are; but what average fan knows the nicknames of a zillion teams....no many I venture.
