The Cleveland Indians Now Guardians

[Omega]

The long wait for the Cleveland professional baseball team's nickname is apparently over.

From MSN:

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Indians are now the Cleveland Guardians.




Thoughts?

Never have been a fan of Cleveland and never will be.But I am a fan of the history of baseball and I think this knee jerk reaction to rename a historic franchise is stupid.If they had to change the name couldn’t they have come up with something better? They sound like an insurance company now.

Well that would match them up with the stadium name but I agree it sounds so stupid! Should have went back with their old name. Maybe they was afraid of offending spiders. Lol

[Geronimo]

Not a fan of Cleveland but I think its sounds stupid what is the big deal???

[Geronimo]

Better idea rename the Cleveland browns to brownies !!! LOL

I was hoping the new name would be the Cleveland Mistakes. You know, the Mistakes by the Lake!

Seriously though, social justice and political correctness now permeate society. Every home stand, the local minor league team has Latino night. Uniforms, programs, scoreboards, menus and announcing are done in Spanish. It is kind of fun but I would take Guardians over the Verdevilla Conducirs any day.

Utter nonsense!
Country full of faux oppressed crybabies!

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Lifetime fan and I think it is STUPID.

[TRENCHFOOT]

Agree. I'm not a Cleveland fan, but I don't like it.

Is this going to be a new TV program coming this fall??? Will Giuliani be the lawyer in it?

[Geronimo]

Hope not don't need another law suit !!! LOL

Tito has probably managed his last game in Cleveland citing health reasons. Culture reasons probably has as much to do with it I would guess.

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Dolan and his cheapness have made Tito Sick.

[OHHS old timer]

Yet another reason for me not to give a crap about MLB!!
