I grew up in Cincinnati, and I don't care about the Ravens, the Browns, or
other sports teams. The Crows, though, I'd call "lo .apsaroke".
Well, yeah, I don't really care either, not being into sports myself. But I'm from Cleveland, so I have a minute loyalty to the Browns, the Cavaliers, and the Indians, purely because they're the Cleveland teams.
And even if you did care about handegg, you're from Cincinnati, so you wouldn't care about the Browns because your team is the Bengals. ;)
Who are the Crows? Are you talking the indigenous tribe of the Americas? Without going into a rant, I'd just like to say that I very much dislike the English names for the various tribes and also prefer calling them by their own name (and therefore would also call them that if I ever had occasion to talk about them in Lojban).
