I didn't realize people were bitching about their name even though I should have.

I'm a native Clevelander and diehard Indians fan and I hate this. The guardians refer to statues on the Lorain Ave/Carnegie Bridge which basically goes right by the stadium.

So pissed the woke crowd had to take away a name that has only been in existence for 100+ years but somehow just recently became offensive.

MLB basically forced the franchise to remove all signs of Chief Wahoo in order to give Cleveland the 2019 ASG as well.

Spiders seemed like an easy choice. Guardians is dumb.

I get the local reference but it sounds like a nickname for a spring football league team. Cleveland Tower would have been a better choice for an edifice theme.

Guardians is the worst team name ever. Why didn’t they just choose Spiders?

I’ll still call them the Indians just like I still call them the Redskins.

Now, instead of just Cleveland, they will represent the galaxy.

I guess in the next 5-10 years we won’t even acknowledge the existence of the American Indians anymore.
