Cleveland "Guardians?"

[Cojohnso1]

As a baseball fan it's always frowned with any change? Especially baseball with such a long history. But I also understand that some changes are needed. But as names go? The "Guardians" isn't too bad a pick? Especially with some area relevance to that name?

Do not watch any of them ,I believe bull **** the guardians

Ok. Then why so much negativity? Personally? I think the Guardians is a better name out of the box? I'm willing to bet if a new little league team had a choice between Indians or Guardians? Guardians wins hands down.

Think what you want, the Indians was fine name we going to change everything because someone feels affended or has hurt feelings

Guardians is sourced from the guardians on the Lorain Carnegie bridge. They were hand carved by the Italians in the little Italy area of Cleveland.
I believe they are guarding the traffic over the bridge.

I don’t really like it.

But were any Indians actually offended? Canada is way over the top at this crap compared to the U.S. and it’s all driven by white people.
Where I live pretty much EVERYONE is either Indian or Eskimo, and they couldn’t give a ****. The only people I see on the news driving this stuff is either city natives who may only be a small fraction aboriginal, or bleeding heart white folks trying to carry the burden for aboriginals who never asked for and don’t need their help.

1. I don't like change.
2. I don't know that this change is needed or necessary.
3. The new name sounds too colloquial to me. It doesn't sound like something that others (outside Cleveland or Ohio) will immediately pick up on.
4. Cleveland Wahoos might be a better choice?

Screw all of them. Woke bastards.

I personally like the name. Also keep in mind. The "Indians" is not the franchise original name? It was their 4th. The name before Indians was the "Naps" Now that's a bad name. "Naps?" I'm sure it had other meaning. But today? A little weak.

All sports has been losing fan base. But baseball has been gaining base in other countries. I don't believe we will see it pass Soccer as the global sport? But it is gaining market value.

Never heard that name or expression.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Makes me think of Cleveland Guardians Of The Galaxy.

I’ve been in Cleveland and heard that!
Don’t know where and actually why it originated though.

How about changing the name to the Cleveland Cleavers with a picture of one on the shirt? LOL, otherwise maybe the Cleveland Cleavites or better yet: The Cleveland Cleavage with low cut shirts, LOL!

Maybe not so much anymore; with all this "coming out" stuff these days, I heard that NY was maybe going by "The Big Banana" LOL!
