Why isn't there a team named Ninjas?

[Baked]

Of all the professional sports teams, there isn't a single one named after ninjas. But we have one that's called Pirates. I demand they change one of the stupid animal teams to Ninjas, preferably in the American League, so we can have a Ninjas Vs. Pirates World Series.

Wouldn't that require the Pirates to be, you know, good?

There are amateur league teams with that name. Unclear who would win between them and the Pirates.

They're only 1 game out of the lead in NL Central. And they're pretty damn good this year.

actually many pro teams are named "Ninjas" we just can't detect them by any standard forms of measurement.

Really? Huh. You can tell I watch a lot of baseball. I thought they wre setting historic marks for futility the last few years.

No, that would be the Astros.

No, that would be the Astros.

I really had high hopes for the Astros to have a halfway decent season, but as the season goes on they continue to stand in a toilet constantly hitting flush.

No, that would be the Astros.

Astros is a terrible name anyway. Next year when they move to the American league west they shall officially become the Houston Ninja's.

Because having a team called the Indians with a pic of a red faced dude with a feather in his hair repping a huge ass smile is already racist enough. Why, would you like to see some slanty eyed ninja with an all black outfit on hitting a baseball with a samurai sword?

If I were rich, I'd have a team called the faggots. The colors would be a pastel rainbow, and the mascot would be the ugly stick. Think of all the awesome headlines, and news reports :^D

The name Astro's came from a time when America was still has a space program, and it was based in Houston.
But, if we have learned anything about how Houston names teams, if they were to be renamed, they would be called the Americans, or perhaps the Houstonians.
