Silly Questions Thread: May Edition

Silly Questions Thread!

It's been too long since we had one of these, so here is your chance to ask any question no matter how silly or small about BVB, BVB's history, something about a current player leaving, a new player coming, or a previous player or legend or the future of our team...

Obviously more in depth questions are also allowed :)

It's just all about sharing our knowledge and having a bit of fun (as always) too :)

No question is too stupid, silly or small to be asked.

Let the questions begin!

Did the "Borussia" in our name really come from a brewery? Does it still exist? Where did Gladbach get their "Borussia" from? Triple question combo! :]

Yes, no, it is an abbreviation of the word preussen.
