The L.A. Dodgers didn't do their homework before naming their new minor league team...

Per LA Times...
quote:

Chaqueta is the Spanish word for jacket. But it also has another meaning that is, let’s just say, NSFW. The word can also be slang for masturbation. The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes were unaware of the word’s second meaning when they chose the nickname Chaquetas for Minor League Baseball’s Copa de la Diversión series this season. The Dodgers’ single-A minor league affiliate has decided to stick with Chaquetas as their name during their three Copa events this season — but only after a few tense hours following their announcement of the moniker Thursday morning.

“We went live at 10 o’clock and we’re so excited,” Grant Riddle, Quakes executive vice president and general manager, told The Times in a phone interview Friday. “You know, we’ve been working for this for two years, gone through this extensive process, all of that. And then we started to get some comments that we didn’t understand.”

And through all of that, Riddle said, the team never heard anything about the slang definition of chaquetas. But folks on social media were quick to point it out Thursday morning, causing the Quakes to remove all of its announcements regarding the name from social media for a few hours while they went through an expedited version of the vetting process all over again.

So the LA Dodgers organization doesn't have one person that speaks Spanish in an executive marketing position.

That is what is commonly known as "Low IQ pandering."
