Texans a popular name for pro football teams

What’s in a name? Well, in the landscape of pro football: Texans.

Right now, the Houston Texans are the latest to call themselves that – make that the second pro football team to call themselves the Houston Texans. But in the annals of professional football history, there have been many that have called their club the “Texans.” Of course, if you are from the State of Texas, the fact that you are a Texan is something to be proud of and brag big about. So, it is only fitting that an owner would want his team to be called the very fabric of the folks who live in the great state of Texas.
