TORONTO RAPTORS (“Velociraptors”) – I velociraptor erano dinosauri rapidi, carnivori, aggressivi, astuti. Nel 1995 i tifosi della metropoli canadese preferirono questo nick a una lunga lista di alternative, forse risentendo dell’influenza esercitata sul pubblico dall’uscita, appena due anni prima, del celebre film “Jurassic Park” di Steven Spielberg.
