Yeah I get caught out by it too, I've been trying to write packers instead. but its hard to try and remember that :)

I tend to write Packers more than Green Bay as well so that makes it more of a rookie error for me.

Let's open this up to the callers, what teams do you refer to the city more than the nickname or vice versa?

Personally in the NBA, I never call the Oklahoma City Thunder 'The Thunder'. You have to say the whole name.

I abbreviate it to OKC or the The faces team...
San fran is always the whiners, or those pieces of plopcicles or... well you get the picture 😆
Always the Wolves for the Timberwolves, Rams, never LA...
Thinking about it, Denver is one I prob use Denver more than Broncos, Jets and giants over NY,

I think I'm more a nickname sort of guy

OKC is more than acceptable. Just never 'Thunder'.

The Forty-whiners has always been a good one and true in some cases.

Seattle fans use to use it a lot and 'She-hawks' was always a fun response before.. you know.

Yeah I would probably say Denver more, possibly Kansas City too. NFL is definitely a nickname sport.
