So why don't they write Bayern München as "Bavaria Munich"? (lol) Maybe they wanna keep at least part of it true to its name.

What is the point of this post? I've read it multiple times and each time I'm not seeing a point, any point, that explains the reason for this post.

Felt it was pretty straight-forward actually. Sorry for your confusion.

There's no confusion on my part. The point of your post, as best I can tell, is to complain over what essentially amounts to nothing. Bavaria is the English translation of Bayern, though I could be wrong, and Munich has been called Munich since before I was born. Munchen is the German name for Munich, but you knew that already. So explain to me what your point is/was again.

Oh dear. Do you always get this defensive? As you said yourself, Bayern has always been translated as Bavaria by English-speaking countries. As you also said yourself, München has always been translated as Munich by English-speaking countries. So my point was, if you put the two together to make Bayern München, which is a common reference for FC Bayern, I just found it odd that those same English-speaking countries call it Bayern Munich, and not Bavaria Munich. I don't know how else I can explain it. (lol)

And it's not a big deal or anything to me. It's just something that struck me as interesting when I was catching up on this thread. You're making more of this than need be, especially after aTxTIGER's eloquent response to my inquiry.

Yeah defconn is a bit defensive sometimes. I think it's cause he's a Dortmund fan
