Fans Want to Change a Colorado Baseball Team's Name to the 'Chubs'

There is a minor league baseball team in Grand Junction, CO called the Grand Junction Rockies... Boring, right? Well, their fans think so too, and want them to change their name.

.The problem is, there are a bunch of their fans who want them to change their name to something rather inappropriate!

The Grand Junction "Chubs."

According to an actual dictionary, a chub is a "thick-bodied European river fish with a gray-green back and white underparts, popular with anglers." However, the Urban Dictionary definition is much more risky!

It led the team to post this statement to their Twitter;

“The GJ Rockies are not considering changing their name and never have. We are owned by a group led by the Colorado Rockies and having a team on the west slope helps build their brand. Suggesting We would be called the GJ “Chubs” is offensive and a slang sexual term for erection.
The GJ Rockies pride ourselves on providing fun family entertainment and suggesting inappropriate name changes will not be tolerated. Anyone who continues to suggest the GJ “Chubs” in any way will be blocked from our account.”

HAHAHAHAHA!!!
