DoodleDawg on the Greek word "Kalamata": "It's also a kind of olive that I'm not too fond off though my sister loves them and insists on serving them at family get-togethers."

Thanks so much for that!

Of course, it's also a place name for a town on the coast near Sparta.

So, if we think of the Kalamatans as effectively Spartans, then perhaps we can understand (if not sympathize with) one of their sons' deep affinity for the American Confederate "Sparta"?

Don’t rule out him being a Michigan State fan. Of course, he could simply like Greek Olives.
