There are many named after the Greeks (Trojans, Spartans, Titans), the Norse (Vikings), even the Irish (Celtics and Fighting Irish), but none are named after the Romans. Why?

Not really. Romulus and Remus were not even born in Troy and were centuries after Aeneas. That’s the joke

nothing roman really has a good ring to it for a team name. Shit like gladiators and centurions doesn’t sound right. Plenty of Colosseum stadiums out there. LA has the Forum, there’s the Aqueduct racetrack in NY.

Greeks and Norse = mythic warriors, Romans = empire-builders. U.S. sports culture wants the scrappers, not the empire.

180 thread. You get lots of Trojans, Spartans, some Argonauts, occasional VAndals, Scots, Highlanders, VIkings, Norse. Weird ones like Britons and Saxons. But basically no Romans. Amazing.

I guess maybe because they killed Christ and were therefore seen as villains when most US sports franchises and university athletic departments were created? only reason I can think of
