dubiously: who says "sport teams"? Maybe if you are only talking about a single sport, but it would then be more common to say baseball teams, or soccer teams.

although...... I do like that better, especially since I changed the wording a little so that won't be as repetitive as it would have been..... thanks

B is right but I like fobbles idea of side stepping the whole issue.
I'm not too smart but I have made a many a banner. I would err on the part of discretion and leave the apostrophe off. |

They don't look like they'd slip to me, but might be quite clumsy for side-stepping. ugg indeed
 I did go with fobble (  ) subject to teacher's "approval" -he admitted he assumed it was possessive..... I removed the hyphen too, I'll probably get fired for that one

people do not understand possessives, I've come to understand. a terrible failing of our grammar instruction, although it doesn't seem that hard a concept to me . . .
