The Dodgers are a funny one- the name referenced people “dodging” Brooklyn streetcars, then they relocated to a place soon to be devoid of them. I guess they dodge cars now.

Rams twice, Raiders twice, A's twice (maybe about to be thrice?). Just don't think it's a big deal. In this case they have to change it because of what was agreed to.
Also not sure why names have to have some local connection now. Are there Tigers and Lions roaming the streets of Detroit? Raptors in Toronto? Royals in Kansas City? Kings in Los Angeles or Sacramento? Bulls and Bears in Chicago (I don't know, maybe some CBOE reference)? Just pick a good name and people will get used to it.
