Which one should you use?

Did you know?
- If a Spanish speaker were to translate the name literally to describe the bird, they would use halcón marino, a term that sounds much more biological and less like a catchy sports brand.
- While fútbol americano is the correct term, saying just fútbol in a Spanish-speaking country almost always refers to soccer, which could lead to a confusing conversation about the Seahawks.
- Spanish speakers often use the English name Seahawks but refer to them as los Seahawks because sports teams are almost always treated as plural masculine nouns in Spanish.

- Los Seahawks juegan este domingo.The Seahawks play this Sunday.
- Me encanta la camiseta de los Seahawks.I love the Seahawks jersey.
