Alcoholism is the only

yelled at for having.
 I enjoy your write ups and hope you continue, but I’m really curious where “the Wings” comes from for North Carolina FC. I haven’t been in a year or so, but that’s been my local team since they were the Railhawks and I’ve never heard that nickname.

Possibly something I extrapolated when I couldn’t find an official nickname - should I use Railhawks from now on?

You do you, I wasn't complaining, just legit curious if that was something I had missed. The supporters' group calls them "the Dead Whales" because of some weird thing about whale bones being buried at the site of WakeMed Soccer Park.

The story if anyone cares
