The team formerly known as the Indians can move to Homosassa, FL, and their nicknames WON’T be the Sassas

You can’t assume that here on FR. Not unless you know the poster.

And I don’t really know or remember anyone I might reply to here.

I’ve got no problem with it.

He can say “Indians” till he’s old and gray. Still won’t have an issue with it. Might join him, in fact.

I call them the Guarindians.

ALDS Game 5 now set for Tuesday evening at Yankee Stadium. Two major consequences of postponing. 1) The winner will have to fly to Houston and start the ALCS Wednesday night. 2) The Garanimals can now bring back Shane Beiber on normal rest to pitch Game 5.

I still call the football Colts the Baltimore Colts.

and I still call the football Giants the New York Goofball Giants. Yeah, I know they're 5-1, but they can't keep it up.

I was near Cleveland in the late 70’s, when it was at it’s lowest (Kuchinich was mayor). Atleast they didn’t fall for this crap. Alex Bevan needs to weigh in.

The “Colts” should be called the Indiana Irsays.
And the Baltimore team the BaltiModells.

“My brother lived there for years and told us the history.. The new team is named for the Guardian sculptures who have watch over Hope Memorial Bridge since the 1920s.”

Yes. I’d heard this.

I think that it also ended in -dians played a role.

“The name sounds kind of fascist”

That’s what I thought. Or paternalistic.

From the woke point of view it doesn’t seem like a good name.

Agree. I have good memories of a few Indians games in the ‘60s.

And I HATE this woke crap, changing names, messing with monuments, etc. Technically it can be undone if/when sanity returns, but it never will.
