You Don’t Say: Ok, Kannapolis Boomer

The Kannapolis Intimidators minor league baseball team recently changed their name to the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers. With this new name comes a new mascot and according to WFAE’s Dashiell Coleman, the Cannon Ballers decided on mustached baseball named Boomer. Allegedly the mascot’s name — which was voted on by the fans — has nothing to do with the recent phrase Millennials and Gen Zers use to disagree with Baby Boomers, but we decided to check in with a few completely non-existent people to see their thoughts on the matters: Was this name change done to appeal to “young folk?”
