The 10 Wimpiest Team Names in Sports

Jordan Vertone is a 16-year-old Analyst whose favorite sports team out of any sport is the Toronto Maple Leafs. He put together a list of the 10 Wimpiest Team Names in Sports . Guess what - teams named after trees or other plants are not part of the game. Jordan thinks "Angels—it's a very wimpy name. Angels are messengers of the almighty God, but they do not have the power of the Lord. Plus it just sounds peaceful, nice, and all that it takes to become No. 1 on my list of the Wimpiest Names."

This is tough guys - not peaceful and nice.
