“Guardians.” Stupidest nickname in sports.

Because the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame is there, there was a lot of support for the “Cleveland Rocks,” with their mascot a guy in a cool rock suit.

But no. They went with ridiculously boring.

I guess Cleveland doesn’t rock anymore.

Waiting now for the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings to change their names, along with the Dallas Cowboys and the NE Patriots.

“Guardians.” Stupidest nickname in sports.

There are some stupid nicknames in college sports such as the Syracuse Orange--why couldn't they have been the Grapefruit or the Banana? And the UCLA Bruins, named for the slow-witted bear in the medieval tales of Reynard the Fox.
