Cleveland Baseball Team Changing Name To ‘Guardians’ For Next Season
Cleveland Guardians of the Galaxy sucks, let's watch Atlanta Avengers instead
Utterly STUPID NAME!!!
Honestly don't care. Like, WHY should I?
It doesn't affect the game, and frankly, feel sad for anyone angered by this. Oh well
The general management needs to grow a pair
Why is it always Caucasian Americans who never seem to understand why Native Americans find Indigenous team names offensive? 🤆This name Change is good for Cleveland, who knows.. you may finally win one!
Cleveland Guardians 😎ðŸ‘ÂÂ
There’s nothing racist about Indians. Guardians how original. MLB is boring already and now it’s political. Guardians is a stupid name booooooooo
Angry people in this thread because of a simple name change….
What about the Dallas Cowboys
🤮🤮
Will other teams need to change their names? Like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Pittsburgh Pirates? Pirates were known for raping and pillaging. What about the Minnesota Vikings? Vikings also did their share of pillaging.
The loosers saund better
How about the Cleveland Kneelers?
Hope the Cleveland fans will just wear their Indian gear and cheer the INDIANS at any game!!!
Liberals are destroying America. This is ridiculous.
The Buffalo Bills should change their name because it’s offensive to people who are unable to pay their bills
This is long term strategy to move the team to a different city. Dolan (cousin of the Knicks/Mets owner you love to hate) knows the team will lose money and they’ll just move to a different city. Las Vegas might get the A’s but if not they’ll definitely get the Guardians. If not Vegas, maybe they’ll put them in Canada and bring back the Expos. Charlotte? Nashville? Some place btw the booming cities of Austin and San Antonio? Who knows.
Maybe when they stop finding Indian kids buried under Catholic churches we can go back to naming teams after them.
The PC police strike again.
What a woke JOKE! 👎👎
Here is my simple question: Do Indians even watch baseball? ‘Eh Chief?
What a joke!!! I hope: 1)People stop going to games and support other sports/leagues. 2)People do NOT buy anything that has that name. 3)People wear more often Cleveland Indians stuff.
I am Groot.
Stupid decision
I see no problem with the name the Indians….let's change the cowboys name next.
It's just stupid because I don't understand what's the problem? Why change the name? Because extreme woke liberals are offended? How? How is having native American symbols offensive? Isn't it diverse or inclusive, brings out culture? Stop these stupid unnecessary changes and leave it alone.
Psa if a team changing a name ruins a sport for you……. You never really watched the team anyways
Baseball is most popular game in this world ðŸâ€Â¥ðŸ¤˜ðŸ¤˜ðŸ¤˜ðŸ¤˜ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂ
Cleveland Baseball.
Horrible name. No one here a) drives on that bridge or b) even knows about it. Also, the public had no say in this.
Time to call the NY Yankees the NY Apples. White Soxs to Black Soxs, Tigers to Detroit kittens.
Republican snowflakes in the comments mad over a literal baseball game: 👶ðŸÂ¼
What the heck is going on in America lmao?
The Cleveland Karens
Stupid name
The Cleveland Guardians are a roller derby team. Did anyone confer with them before stealing their name?
💩
Dodgers unpatriotic name for ditching the draft
As a Native American, sad that we are being erased and not worthy to be named after as a team. This is disrespectful and hope cities protest
Get woke Go broke!
Glad I gave up on pro and college sports a couple years ago. ðŸ‘ÂÂ
For me – the irony is that if these relevant groups may actually have been not at all offended by the nicknames, then…it's possible that they have since become offended given the tenor of the outrage expressed by those opposed to the name changes, now. [I know, for instance, if by some chance I happen to become the cause celebre adopted by Fox News…it would give me genuine pause, to reconsider as to whether or not my grievance is justified.]
How about the Cleveland Eerie ? Of course that might come as a bit of a 'head-scratcher', even to many who live in the area. But as 'the EERIE', in case of need they could always respond to complaints with, "Hey, we're just living up to our name !"
What’s next, change the name of the Athletics because not everyone’s athletic
