00:00 Totttenham Hotspur
11:50 Buffalo Bills
21:40 Charlotte Hornets

shout out my man Heung-min Son on the thumbnail 🙌

[@asmrcarine]

One of the most talented and likeable players in the league!

[@tq6892]

Crystal Palace - a football team in London, England named after a glass building known as the Crystal Palace which burned down 100 years ago. Cool name.

[@akjdhajkdjhaghjkadh9804]

It sounds like a girls ballet team.

[@tq6892]

@@akjdhajkdjhaghjkadh9804 Whatever floats your boat son.

[@ndtreese]

Thanks for covering the Hornets! I'm from North Carolina and I love the Hornets and their history (even though it's been rough going for the last 2.5 decades or so 😂)

[@maxgraham2893]

The best names always from Africa and South America football. In Bolivia they have some incredible names like one of the best teams is called The Strongest

[@randommoosebrains]

Man, you have been on a roll with these videos. Thank you for the content Carine!

[@asmrcarine]

Thank YOU Moose! I’m having a blast!

[@dannydubya9410]

COYS!!!! Might be visiting London next year to attend a match, it would be my first visit to England. I love the history and story of the Hotspur name, thanks for including it!

[@asmrcarine]

I hope you get to go! So far in England I've been to a Man City game and Wembley for the Women's FA Cup final. The atmosphere is fantastic. I'm a Newcastle fan so we'll see you on December 10 ;)

[@dannydubya9410]

@asmrcarine That's so awesome. I want to start visiting stadiums all over the country, follow the Spurs around. I love how there are clubs with massive stadiums, and clubs like Luton Town that play in front of a few thousand, all in the same league. So unique Hey, Newcastle has that oil money now, so I expect them to get pretty competitive as the years go by. Better them then Chelsea or Arsenal

[@danieleraschi9486]

My favourite sports team are US Cremonese in football and Vanoli Cremona in basketball

[@kyleburnett4795]

Hopefully you do some more videos that are like the ones you did titled "Interact with Me - Hand Movements and Personal Attention," or something like that. I used to really like those.

[@invincinity5584]

Any chance we see a video of your own personal sports fandom in terms of which teams you root for and your history being a fan of them?

[@asmrcarine]

Love that idea!

[@jgjusmc1978]

No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. It’s true; Chris Bermann said so.

[@ledealerdecaba]

Spartak Moscow, Cleveland Indians, Chicago Blackhawks, Dallas Mavericks, and the Razorbacks for sure

[@ricdimarco1499]

Hamilton Tiger-Cats. It’s traditional enough to not sound too cute, but weird enough to not be generic. I lived in Ottawa for two years (I’m from the American South, mostly), and I’ve stuck with the Ticats ever since. More videos on CFL rules, history, development would be awesome. Thanks.

[@NerfHerder1]

There was a Central Hockey League team in Macon, Georgia called the Macon Whoopee. I still laugh every time I hear it.

[@owen4065]

Colleges got some pretty cool names like Seton Hall, Duquesne, and Marquette

[@EliHooker-bl3rb]

I was also thinking of the charlotte hornets, love that team specially melo🔥

[@bbullet14]

Chicago Blackhawks - Major Frederic McLaughlin, founder of the franchise, named his team the “Blackhawks” after the US Army unit he served in during World War One, the 86th Infantry Division, also known as the Black Hawk Division. The unit was named after Black Hawk, the Sauk leader of the eponymous Black Hawk War of 1832. THEY ARE NOT RACIST

[@UrKidsMyVan42069]

The logo is racist tho

[@bbullet14]

@@UrKidsMyVan42069 no it's not. Its honouring the military. Specifically the Native Americans in the army

As someone who's grown up in north london, I have to say my beloved Arsenal ❤⚽️🔴⚪️🔴

Love the frequent vids, but please make sure not to burn yourself out. Best ASMR channel imo

[@asmrcarine]

Thanks Mike! I’ll be careful not to stretch myself too thin! I’m working out what the best posting schedule will be :)

Funniest team name I've heard is "FL Fart" from Norway. I don't think explanation is needed.

[@Lambolifeinbeing]

Moving to North Carolina in February of next year. Going to have to get used to being surrounded by Hornets; and I'm not just talking about the NBA team and its buzzing fans. The Tune Squad. How can you go wrong with a name like that? 🐰🏀 As Bugs would put it: "What kind of Mickey Mouse organization would name their team The Ducks?" (No shame Anaheim)

[@asmrcarine]

I think we have the winner right here!

[@ShrimpyWilliams]

The rowdy rhinos

[@Yaknose]

I think the Rocket City Trash Pandas have to make any short list on good names. They're a minor league baseball team from Huntsville, Alabama, a major site for the American space program. I was happy when Charlotte was able to switch back to being the Hornets because of the history of the name.

[@deathhero1492]

[@ManapuaMan187]

@asmrcarine definitely very entertaining I love all their videos they post on ig🙂

[@nunyabidnesss]

I was always partial to the uc Santa Cruz Banana Slugs. It's one of a kind. Professionally, I'm just gonna say the Redskins not because I ever had any affinity, but because I want to mock the spineless twits who changed the name

Thanks for getting the ball rolling, Thomas! Likes make a huge difference 😊
