Why they might be annoying:

    They are named after a beverage.
    Their first 6 months of existence was filled with much chaos and uncertainty, including 2 different coaches, a lack of soccer General Manager and 8 ties, 3 losses and 3 wins.
    They play in a huge football stadium and rarely attract more than 15,000 fans.
    As the Metrostars, they never reached the MLS Cup Championship.
    They are named New York Red Bulls, even though they play in New Jersey.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Although their name changed, the company kept the team's [unsuccessful] history for the sake of the fans.
    Red Bull reportedly paid $100 million to buy the team ($25 million for the team, $45 million for a 50% stake in the team's future soccer-specific stadium, and $30 million for stadium naming rights).
    They are getting their own soccer-specific stadium in 2008.
    They have three officially recognized fan clubs: Empire Supporters Club, MetroNation and First Row Idiots (A member of Team Annoy is a founding member)!
    Former United States Men's National Team Coach Bruce Arena is their Sporting Director and Head Coach (July 18, 2006).
