If there are many things covered under a singular noun, it is called a collective. You treat collectives as singular nouns, such as the word "family." Soort teams are always collective; i.e. The Bengals are kicking the Broncos' asses right now, no, wait, they just won. (they really did win in the midst of writing my sentence). The Heat are awesome this year.
