Just because you lot use your feet is no reason to get all hissy about it.
Besides, "handball" was already taken when we got around to it.
Having clicked, I see you just want people to make fun of the team name.
Best of luck anyway.
Originally they were called the Albinos, but TV commentators could never decide whether to pronounce it "al-BEE-nos" or "al-BY-nos".
As a fan of the Washington Redskins (*sniff*), I find the N.Z. team name outrageous!
P.S. How about the "AL-bin-ohs", herr doktor?

That's the Aussie "Running Dogs" you're confusing them with.

New Zealand's N*cl**r-Free Zone legislation is so strict that we are not even allowed to type the word, let alone pronounce it.
We do not talk much either about the NZ cricket team (teh Black Sticks), but that is because the team is embarrassing, rather than the name.
Black Caps, Herr Doktor.Thus we can make jokes about them through their name e.g. Flat cats, Blocked craps etc. The Black sticks is teh Hockey team, who win quite frequently, unlike the so-called cricket team
