Local women's pro soccer team gets a name, of sorts

The local National Women's Soccer League team, the one that could play in a rebuilt White Stadium, will call itself Bos Nation FC, which is supposed to resonate with people who live in a city:

Where sarcasm is the native language. A three dollar and 48 cent cup of coffee is the food of choice. Where a legion of professional sports teams connects us as one. And no one, no one, rests until championship banners are raised.

Bonding over $3+ cups of coffee as 'our' food of choice.

The “Wicked Pissahs” is probably too excellent for prime time.

... but maybe that's why it's used by a local roller derby team :)

Wouldn't Bostonian FC be better?

Or just Boston FC

Or Boston United, although there is already a Boston United F.C. in the U.K., founded in 1933.

So, how would you get to White Stadium?

#16 bus from Forest Hills or Andrew Station. I don't think they have a stop right outside White Stadium (They better still call it White Stadium after the renovations) but it's a short walk from the Franklin Park stop.

Alternatively you could take the #22, #29, #32, #34 or #36 busses from Roxbury Crossing station and get off at the playground on Seaver Street opposite Humboldt Avenue and walk down the hill.

Once a day during the school year, each of those routes has a single bus in the morning and a single bus in the afternoon that extends beyond Forest Hills. The soccer games would need a very strange schedule to fit with those bus routes, and the buses would be packed with high school students.

Incredibly dumb name.

My suggestion:

"HighSchoolStadiumPirates"

Would only fit on a broad rimmed hat.
Not very stylish.

Nothing else.

Or, White Stadium Stealers could be another option.

1. The team is dragged for the horrible name.

2. The hype video doesn't mention any of the other local women's teams.

3. Their 'Too Many Balls' slogan goes over like a fart in church in the LGBT community and the team has to apologize.
