Default Cleveland Indians ---> Cleveland Guardians

Alas, poor Cleveland Indians, I knew them well.
I understand the world is changing. Still, it makes me nostalgic.

Here's the logo (since I'm having trouble posting it!)

Wonder how the native Americans feel....they are losing their identity.

Default Indians

Seriously, is it bad to be an Indian? Is it bad to be a Warrior, Chief or a Brave?

And the Guardians? A statue? How about the Buzzards and WMMS?

The owners are off their rockers.

Why does eve have to be homogenized.

They should have gone with "Steamers"...

The name "Guardians" replacing "Indians" makes me want to throw up!

"The Cleveland Sellouts" is more fitting.

Perhaps they would have been thrilled to be called the Cleveland Wokers.

What's next the Dallas Cowboys???

I still chuckle when hearing the "Washington Football team".

Now that we’ve taken care of the Indians and Braves, can we now look at the New York teams? Since I’m living in the South, many find the term Yankees offensive and a trigger word. And the Giants, well that can certainly be seen as offensive )

I hate all these changes that are being made with names and history. Of course Guardians is a gang name so maybe that is the direction we are going.

They will pick on the Chiefs next. America become the land of the offended

The result included prohibiting fans from wearing headdresses and face paint that “references or appropriates American Indian cultures and traditions.”

They are also reviewing the use of the Arrowhead Chop and drums as part of the stadium experience, though that exploration is still ongoing.

I think the Golden State Warriors should be addressed next. But hey, why stop there? Do all Irish fight? Maybe Notre Dame should be done over? The whole issue is bogus.

Disgusting and disgraceful.

Over the years have become friends with several people who consider themselves to be native Americans.

They think this is a stupid thing to do.
