 who referring to teams
Sportswriters usually use 'who' when referring to teams.
Here's one example:
"The struggling Ottawa Senators hope to strengthen their tenuous hold on a playoff spot Thursday when they visit the Toronto Meaple Leafs, who've beaten them four straight times."
Sometimes 'which' is used instead and I wonder if teams can be treated as a persons. Is it the same situation when 'whom' should be used as the object of a verb or preposition though some say 'who'? |
