i know they're the fighters. i have known that they are the fighters.
but it's so much more fun to think about them as ham fighters. just imagine a storyline about having to defend the planet against a band of cruel, psychotic pigs, hellbent on terrorizing humanity....
kind of like these guys (http://voanews.com/english/2007-10-22-voa8.cfm) but more cool and sci-fi like.
The funniest part is that any time I try to explain to Japanese people that most Americans insist on calling them the "Ham Fighters", the general response I get is "Wow, Americans are really stupid. Can't they see that the team is the Fighters? The company's Nichiham. I mean, we don't even speak English and WE know that. How dumb must they be?"
Of course, I completely agree, but after 5 years of being a Fighters fan I've pretty much just given up on it.
I have that same jersey. It resulted in a whole bunch of Japanese people calling me "Sempai" during game 2. Good times.
