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.

They should have changed their name to the River Fires.

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.

Not the Cleveland Independents, or Cleveland Telegraphs? Did the Plain Dealer turn down a co-branding proposal? The Liberal media make sense for team names today, being powerful, relentless, and hell-bent on beating their opponents down.

Just call them the Browns, like the other team...apparently THAT is not "Racist", Call ALL of the town teams the same thing.

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.

Check that. Big mistake. Someone just pointed out that guardians often carry guns. Therefore they had to go with their second choice, Cleveland Pajama Boys.

Totally irrelevant to anything I care about. Earthworms are vastly more important, or the debate over who should take out the garbage.

Guardians of Woke is more like it. Not that I watch the MLB after being a devoted lifetime fan, this is just one more reason to watch something else.

As an ex-New Yorker, I'm offended by the NY Yankees. An often derogatory term to refer to northerners. I'll think of more.

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. Is the team now all going to wear berets and walk the streets combating crime?

I bet they will start banning fans from wearing clothing with the long-time Indians logo. Those pushing political correctness want to control and manipulate others more than anything else.

Guardians? Like guardians of the Earth? Like guardians of social justice? How PC can you get.?
Sports have their own indoctrination programs. Both for the athletes, and their fans. They have become impossible to watch.

The new name is awful. It has no history. Nothing. Call themselves the Cleveland Slops. Apparently, they have no respect for themselves, so why should I?

The name Indians was created to honor Louis Sockalexis - - a full-blooded Indian who played for their team - - and who died in a tragic accident.
So - - once more - - Indian history and Indian culture are being flushed down the memory hole - - all in the name of diversity and equity. Lo, the poor Indians.

Would that be DC Comics Guardians of the Universe or Marvel Comics Guardians of the Galaxy? Because this whole name change fiasco is a comic book joke at this point.

Do the lefties think erasing those they choose to target for removal from public life, current & historically, will bring any honor to them? Hardly!!! Being named champions of favorite teams is is is a rare & very, very special honor for anyone! Lefties dishonor America's champions. Shame on the destroyers.

No #7 Natives were proud. Idiot, virtue signaling suburban women and homely, gender confused teenage college students demanded change. The idiots in charge folded in fear.
