On what grounds? Teams keep their nicknames when changing cities all the time. Is there actually a baseball organization in Vegas known as the Athletics? Surely they can buy them off if so.

Be a damn shame to lose one of the two oldest remaining names in baseball.

It will get done, I'm sure it's just a bureaucrat from California having their fun. One way or another the team will get the trademark.

Who uses it? If it’s minor league or soccer or WNBA, get some heavies in there and convince them change would be good.

In the old days I wonder what the 2 St. Louis Cardinals did?

Makes too much sense to change the team name to Aces or something now.

"athletics" is too generic...it both describes a baseball team and an entire field of human activities. if you wanted to open a gym in LV for example, you wouldn't be able to call it "las vegas athletics"
