A forthcoming professional soccer team in Texas is the latest to take inspiration from the world of cryptozoology as the club has been dubbed the Chupacabras. The monstrous moniker for the group that will play in the community of McKinney was reportedly the overwhelming winner of a fan vote wherein the blood-thirsty beast received more support than the combined total of the two closest runners-up. Set to start playing in a soon-to-be-announced lower division soccer league in 2025, the McKinney Chupacabras FC has smartly already rolled out a bevy of merchandise featuring their fearsome logo. The team joins a growing list of sports organizations with cryptid names, including the NHL's Seattle Kraken and New Jersey Devils.
