Do you have issues with synecdoche, where a part of something is used to refer to a whole, or the inverse of that? Boots referring to soldiers, or a city’s name referring to a sports team associated with that city?
This may be a dialect issue, rather than one of formal English grammar.
Not that I’m aware of, do you want to give me example sentences?
“Chicago have absolutely no chance of beating Minneapolis tonight.”
“There’s a buncha sweater vests coming in here trying to tell us how to do our jobs instead of actually contributing to getting anything done.”
Second example feels normal, the first one I’d probably say “has” instead of “have” but that isn’t really related to the city’s name being used to refer to the sports team, that’s normal.
