CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians won their last home game before becoming the Guardians, beating the Kansas City Royals 8-3 on Monday to close a run that started in 1915 and will continue next season with a new identity.

But now the Indians are a memory, just not yet faded or distant.

To be known henceforth as the Cleveland Baseball Club. Guardians sounds like eunuchs overseeing a harem.

In this context, the ‘Guardians’ has such an Orwellian deep state commi implication.

Aren’t “royals” the British and other colonial imperialist anti-democratic elitists? The countries with kings, queens and princes and princesses would enslave people, pillage the minerals and produce like coffee beans, tea, spices, pineapples and artichokes and use the people as lowly workers.

But it would be an accurate moniker. After all, we are a socialist country now and the everything the government does is secretive.

Browns are a good name for the football team. They are always in the toilet in their division,

Pretty interesting...and I'm part American Native....and I've no problem with them leaving the name alone. I'm Indian...
The left is ruining this country and it's culture.
