Should have spent that casino money on a PR campaign to keep the name.
Who’s watching whatever the name?
The blacks loved Amos’n’Andy, too, but the liberals got it banned from TV. I don’t know what we’d do without those racist democrats.
She’s right. They are sell-outs.
When you figure out to whom, let me know.
Those tribes that are upset over the change should all come to one of the big games and stage a protest complete with war dances and chanting.
White Leftists are cleansing honorific Indian references from the American culture.
There have never been “indians” in America. The term was adopted as designating the indigenous tribes found on this continent because the original explorers thought they had sailed to India.
Same old story: Remove the Indian, keep the land!
The proper name for the population found when the explorers arrived is “The Fukawe.”
There are no tribes behind this move, just a bunch of self- appointed “Native American activists” and their white liberal buddies. The Indians were named after a player around the time the team was formed who was an American Indian. It was an honorific, as this writer indicates.
“An Indain’s Take on the Cleveland Baseball Team”
Thanks for the Indain position, any word on the what the Indians think?
They don’t beleive it
This is gonna get amusing—it turns out that Guardians guarded the slaves on the slave ships—made sure the folks in chains didn’t get unruly and try to take over the ship.
It will probably take a while for the Woke crowd to do their homework on this one.
Hopefully it will take long enough for the team to redo all their logos and other stuff—so it costs them a fortune to redo it again....
Now no one will know the stories of why these names were honored, and who the real people were behind them.
Marxists can claim another victory in their efforts to destroy our nation's history. 😞
I grew up an Indians’ fan, since 1975. Lotta lean years there, but it gave me character.
As an adult, I’ve seen pretty much everything I’ve cared about and held up as a unifying symbol ripped down.
Before too long, they’ll re-name my “Phightin’ Phillies” becuase “Phillies” is named after a cigar.
The hell with this world. I can’t in good faith do anything to extend my natural life to hold off the Great Reward of the Afterlife.
why not call them the Cleveland goofballs?? thy still are better than the rangers...

Not doubting you, but do you have a jumping off point for this for others to research? Thanks in advance!
