From a conservative (legal, not political) standpoint, my guess is that those types of abbreviations would still imply some sort of sponsorship or agreement with the teams, and may lead to consumer confusion regarding the source of the app. I would be willing to bet that professional sports teams are apt to be highly litigious and protective of their rights. Even if you're in the right, you could get sued out of business without it affecting their bottom line in any noticeable way.
Moral: consult a trademark attorney in your area, and be very cautious.
