What a fricking joke and this is pretty embarrassing for the whole Angels organization.
But, I think I am in the minority of huge Angels fans when I say that it really doesn't matter what the name is, as long as it's not something like "Cock-masters". The team is still the Angels, the games will still be on the same TV channels, I don't think the uni's are changing, they still play at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, and guys like the MVP Vlad Guerrero are on their team.
As for the mindset of Arte Moreno and his staff, I think they realize that no one really considers Anaheim a major American city with world-wide recognition. They want to reach out to fans all over the world and Los Angeles is the name that they know. When I am traveling outside of the West Coast, and especially internationally, I say I'm from LA or California, not Anaheim (which is my official birthplace) or Orange County.
I'll say I don't like the name change, but I am probably going to tolerate it.
