(I think) it's a ******-ass name...I prefer The Cleveland Spiders since that name has history!

I don't like the new name either, Guardian sounds more like the name of a newspaper. :lol:

The Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Indians changed their names, how about the Chicago Blackhawks? Will they also change their name or stay as the Blackhawks?

My condolences to you, and the rest of your fanbase. I was hoping they would select a distinctly Euro name, such as the Teutonics, or Norsemen. Just to satire the chronic complainers.

Redskins name was a bit offensive. But there was nothing wrong with Indians. Yes, I know Native American in now the politically correct term. The name Indians was chosen to honor them, not ridicule them. Indians owner Paul Dolan didn't even have the courage to make the announcement. He had Forrest Gump do it. No, the Blackhawks, Braves, Chiefs, Seminoles, etc. are not changing their names.

I wish The Dolans would sell The Cleveland Baseball Club(as of today...that's what I'm naming them)!

The Dolans don't give a **** about Cleveland...they say they do, but they're lying through their teeth! It's time Clevelanders shout "enough is enough"!

I agree there is nothing wrong with the name Indians and they shouldn't have changed it. Good to know if the Blackhawks, Braves, and Chiefs have no plans to change their names.

This is why I spit on the ground of this city...Cleveland IS cursed!

I ****ing hate the city I was born in...I only call myself MrCleveland because I get the Cleveland treatment...get tossed around like a rag doll!

Once my father dies...I'm finding greener grass on The East Coast! And **** Ohio...It's The WORST State in the union!...And The Cleveland Baseball Club will NEVER Win another World Series!

I also think this is a cash-grab name so if The Cleveland Guardians...a giant IF...they can sell shirts saying "Let's Guard The Title"!

With this new name, if they end up in last place they can call themselves Guardians of the AL Central cellar. :lol:

They coulda used the name "Guardians" use this for a logo, AND have gotten a nice new stadium deal out of Shaker Heights?

But you should be happy? At least now you know they are staying in Cleveland?

Yep, staying in Cleveland and a farm team for the rest of MLB.

I recall for a time in the 1970s, I suspected that the Milwaukee Brewers were being used by the Boston Red Sox as a AAAA farm team of sorts

It's stupid outrageous and ridiculous is what it is! I'm so sick of all of these overly sensitive "politically correct" good for nothing pansies being offended over everything and ruining everything!! :mad:

Ironically, the vast majority of Native Americans were OK with the name. It was a small group of mostly non-Native Americans that were offended by the name. It is unfortunate that the cowardly owner caved.

I'm calling my baseball club "The Cleveland Idiots"!

They'll be in the cellar because of the ******* owners and this will be their fate even when I'm dead!...

I tend to think it is more a case of resenting the whole "manifest destiny" thing, than just the use of a word.

So after all the Native American team names go away, will Native Americans be complaining that we have forgotten them?

LOL, they will complain about being "under represented" in mainstream culture.

Long after the Land O Lakes maiden, Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben have been forgotten, we will have to fend off a new round of criticism for being ethnocentric and non-inclusive. :lol:

Right now...The Cleveland Baseball Club are the butt of MLB Teams...there's 29 MLB Teams...but Cleveland isn't one!

They're the biggest failure in MLB!

And they begin a 3 game series with my Tigers tonight in Detroit. Locked in a virtual tie for second place.

Indians give up lots of HRs. Cabrera should get 500 this weekend, probably tonight.

You Indians fans can be thankful you are not the Cubs. They gave up 17 runs in Thursday's game, and 14 more tonight.

And the funny part is, even if they tank, the Pirates, Diamond Backs, and Orioles already have such bad records that they have the top draft slots locked up

We won the rubber match...almost had the perfect game...damn!

The Cleveland Baseball Club may have good picks next year...but The Cleveland Indians Era ended as a failure...our Natives don't need Indegenous People's Day or to have their mascots removed...they need to leave the reservations and get more respect and live the American Dream!

And with the European population in America waning as we speak...what will happen next?

It was a spectacular performance by that young man, especially frustrating for a Tigers fan because y'all were hitting the ball so well.

Climate change might render your question moot.

There's 30 teams and Cleveland isn't even close to being the worst team this year.

The Cleveland Baseball Club will be the WORST next year...Scrooge McDolan owns them and won't spend a dime on our team!

It'll be 2060 when Cleveland wins The World Series! Like when The Cleveland Browns were The Cleveland Clowns between 2003 and 2020, I said there's 31 NFL Teams, but Cleveland wasn't one since they were the butt of the NFL at the time.
