It’s a very sad day for Cleveland. Today we lay to rest the Cleveland Indians. The owners will now call the team the Cleveland Guardians, (should be the Cleveland Sell Outs.) Even though we saw it coming, and we should have been prepared, it still seems as if we’re losing a member of our family. For me the tribe represented something that I was able to identify with. Being Choctaw, it was a team who represented me, something to be proud of. But someone at the offices in Cleveland took the bait and decided it was now shameful to be Indian and I should be ashamed of who I am. I was born and raised in Cleveland area, spent 35 years there... the Cleveland Indians were the tribe that raised me. It was great to go to ball games and see others proud of a team that represented who I was as well. So many bonding friendships were made over Tribe games. Even when I moved from Ohio I continued to be a Tribe fan. Going to see them in Arlington when they played the Rangers. It was awesome seeing the number of people here who were Tribe fans when I moved to southeastern Oklahoma 15 years ago. (As well as Redskin, Chiefs and Braves fans.) These were teams who represented us. That is all a thing of the past now. A new generation has decided they are hurt and offended... sometimes it seems by the very light of day. I wish the City of Cleveland all the best with this decision to politicize baseball and remove a source of pride for so many. But since I have no tie to this new team or the statues on the bridge it represents, to me it’s just another team now. Cleveland has taken away the fun and excitement baseball was meant to be. RIP My Tribe. 😞 Well remember the good times.
The Democrats’ view of minorities hasn’t changed one iota since the day the party was founded almost 200 years ago. The only thing that has changed is the color of the hoods.
Four pylons, two at each end of the Hope Bridge, called the Guardians of Traffic, done in an Art Deco style, each holding a different mode of transportation, with wings modelled on those of the statues at the palaces of Assyrian kings. (Those Assyrian kings owned slaves.)
Versions?
We’re going to have to make you change those names.
And Oklahoma, which is literally Choctaw for “red people.”
Which was once edited by Medford S. Evans, the father of M. Stanton Evans.
Cherokee
Modelled on Statues? Tear them down. This isn’t the bridge that burned down when the Cuyahogo River caught on fire, isit?
NOBODY cares except butthurt libs, and a few insufferably pedantic RINOs.
They weren’t East Indians, but they got called Indians just the same, and the moniker stuck, and EVERYBODY knows what you mean when you talk about American Indians.
We got The French and _______ War
We got Coyboys and ______
1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Little ______
We got The _______ In The Cupboard
________ head pennies
________ burns
________ givers
YMCA ________ Guides
Drugstore _________
__________ motorcycles
The Bureau of ________ Affairs
Hell, we got the whole f’n State of ______a!
Dafuq they think they’ll do with THAT?
CHOKE to death, I hope!
Indians, Indians, Indians, everyplace we got Indians. And it’s none but self-loathing leftist idiots that get hung up about it.
Unless I miss my guess, though, there’s a flock of handwringing Karens who’ll presently be turning their chafed, leftist asses to address the suspicious implications buried behind the name of the Cincinnati Reds.
And those OBVIOUSLY holier-than-thou Angels out in Anaheim, CA had best keep a sharp lookout; they’re down that leftist s#!+ list someplace.
No.
REALLY.
It just WILL.
NOT.
EVER.
END.
...with these people.
God could bow to them and they’d STILL be pissed.
It would be fun to watch the Karens try to change the name of the state of Indiana.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

> Cleveland Sell Outs
I thought that was reserved for Art Modell and his relocation of the Browns to Baltimore.
Or them to change the neighboring state of Ohio just for deriving their name from Iroquois (Oyo, meaning “great river”).
Let’s change the name of Seattle. Named after an injun chief who accommodated white settlers.
When are we going to force Indiana to change its name?
What do Indains have to do with Cleveland baseball? I thought their sport was cricket?
What do Guardians have to do with Cleveland baseball?
They’re famous for protecting the galaxy?
The Class A Spokane Indians refused to change their name — becuase they had the support of local Native Americans.
