One who represents good magic would not be generalized, included, or collected under an umbrella that includes evil magic. Orlando should pick one type or another, and not pretend to represent both. If you need examples of good and evil magic, watch Lord of the Rings.

It seems a little late to get upset about this now.

Look at 80% of the team names.. they all kinda suck, you're just used to them. Look at the name The Knicks (re: Knickerbockers?? named after a style of pants?!?!) for example. </div> That's not why they are called the knickerbockers.

The important thing is that their name sucks. </div> "Knickerbocker" was the name of a character in the satirical "History of New York" by Washington Irving. From that point on, the name became a symbol of New York. I think the Yankees were originally called the Knickerbockers. this is from his wikipedia entry, you can read more about him there. In late 1809, while mourning the death of his seventeen year old fiancée Matilda Hoffman, Irving completed work on his first major book, A History of New-York from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty, by Diedrich Knickerbocker (1809), a satire on self-important local history and contemporary politics. Prior to its publication, Irving started a hoax akin to today's viral marketing campaigns; he placed a series of missing person adverts in New York newspapers seeking information on Diedrich Knickerbocker, a crusty Dutch historian who had allegedly gone missing from his hotel in New York City. As part of the ruse, Irving placed a notice — allegedly from the hotel's proprietor — informing readers that if Mr. Knickerbocker failed to return to the hotel to pay his bill, he would publish a manuscript Knickerbocker had left behind.[18] Unsuspecting readers followed the story of Knickerbocker and his manuscript with interest, and some New York city officials were concerned enough about the missing historian that they considered offering a reward for his safe return. Riding the wave of public interest he had created with his hoax, Irving — adopting the pseudonym of his Dutch historian — published A History of New York on December 6, 1809, to immediate critical and popular success.[19] "It took with the public", Irving remarked, "and gave me celebrity, as an original work was something remarkable and uncommon in America".[20] Today, the surname of Diedrich Knickerbocker, the fictional narrator of this and other Irving works, has become a nickname for Manhattan residents in general.[21]
Nope, Dumpy. They were always the highlanders, Orioles, and Yankees. Sometimes the Americans. You're thinking of these guys: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Knickerbockers
