When and Why did NFL Europe become NFL Europa??

I am completely mystified by this

to be more name recognized...... Europa

http://europa.eu/

since it's played there, perhaps they wanted to spell it the proper language.

Should SD Chargers say they are the Corcels?

They can call it whatever they want it's still going to suck.

The NFL Europe League has been re-named NFL Europa and has unveiled a new logo ahead of its 15th season which kicks off in April, 2007.

The move to NFL Europa is intended to highlight the importance of the German and Dutch markets and to create stronger ties with those countries. The new logo and name also maintains very firm links with the NFL in the United States.

NFL Europa Managing Director Uwe Bergheim believes the unveiling of the new name and logo is a very important step for the league, stating: “I am very happy that we can present a new era of professional football in Germany and Europe with our new name and logo.

“Just one letter has been changed but going from NFL Europe to NFL Europa shows how important the German and Dutch markets are for the NFL. It expresses the roots we have established over the last 15 years and that we want to stay here for a long time.

“The logo also emphasises our strong ties to the most successful sports league in the world, the NFL. We are part of Europe and also the NFL. Those aspects combine perfectly with our new logo and name. I hope that fans all around the league and Germany can identify even better with the NFL Europa.”
