Around SBN: Identifying The 19th-Best Team In Baseball

Vaguely Knicks-related philosophical question

I've had a checking account at Commerce Bank since 2006. In October it was bought by TD Bank and changed names, but everything else stayed the same so I didn't care. (I really liked Commerce Bank for their free checking, coin counting machine, and pens.) It wasn't until mid-November, when my neighborhood Commerce Bank changed its blue and red sign to TD Bank's green and white one, that all the pieces fell together: TD Bank...green...TD BankNorth Garden...Boston Celtics. Oh...no.

I felt doubly betrayed. Not only do I hate Boston and all its sports teams, I am philosophically opposed stadium naming. I know sports is business, but I don't think business has to stick its grubby fingers into every aspect of the game. Did I mention I hate Boston teams?

Here then, is my question: do I change banks in protest, or does this cross the basketball nerd line in some definitive way? Should I just steal a lot of those pens, or something? What do you think? Does anyone know of equal banks in NYC for people with no money?
