Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 7/23/2021 11:56:45 AM

They won’t be the Cleveland Baseball Team. After months of speculation and internal discussion, the Cleveland Indians announced on Friday that they will be changing their team name to the Cleveland Guardians. The change is set to take place following the 2021 season. The franchise originally announced its intention to shed the “Indians” nickname in December, acknowledging that the moniker is offensive and insensitive to indigenous peoples. Cleveland’s MLB team has been known as the Indians since 1915.

Uh, no. Here's how it works: Washington NFL will always be the Redskins, Washington NBA will always be the Bullets. By that same measure, Cleveland MLB will always be the Indians.

They were the Cleveland Indians showing respect for Indians bravery and strength, so I guess they are showing American Indians just how much they disrespect them now.

Of course, they had to announce the new name with a long drawn out announcement with Tom Hanks voice giving a long winded WOKE speech on why they were the Guardians. Who cares. They could have save a lot of time and money and just had the General Manager come up to the podium and and announce "our new name will be the Cleveland Guardians, thank-you". It would have save a lot of vomit inducing PC woke speech from Tom Hanks.

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. The entire ownership group of the INDIANS should take long walk off a short pier into Lake Erie, and not just for changing the name of the team, but for coming up with such a STUPID name to replace INDIANS.

The COVID Blood On Biden’s Hands 0 replies
Posted by Imright 7/25/2021 2:19:13 PM Post Reply
That headline might be a little provocative, but it’s true. Not that Joe Biden is roaming the streets infecting people with COVID 19, but his policies on everything from messaging to the southern border are his direct responsibility and they’re hurting and killing Americans. When it comes to messaging, this White House has taken the approach Democrats in Congress have employed for years, and one at which the administration of Barack Obama excelled – being a complete jackass. That’s about as polite as I can put it, and not the word I would use were it up to me.
