Sports teams?

[matthewmayer]

It looks like some locales have data for sports teams in the format place+creatures e.g. "California Bears"

https://github.com/faker-js/faker/blob/next/src/locales/en/team/creature.ts

However there's no actual API for this.

Either the data could be removed if unused, or a new API could be added?

cf: #1297

We haven't decided yet, what to do with these data.
Some data we will most likely just shuffle around, other data will be removed.
However we first have to create some tooling to detect non-referenced files: #1347

To add some context: these were always indirectly reachable data via faker.helpers.fake('...')
That makes it sadly a bit like a breaking change when we suddenly remove it

I'm curious where they originally came from 😀

[ST-DDT]

They were just added at some point:

faker/lib/locales/en.js

Line 6467 in 0048b9f

en.team = {

FWIW I think it would be a fairly fun addition.

The creatures should probably be capitalised i.e. California Dolphins not California dolphins as present.

And might want to allow different patterns for localisation as the Place Creatures pattern is quite Americanised. Eg for en_GB could have X United, X City, X Wanderers etc.
