Cleveland Indians change name to Guardians

Laughable. Was "Intergenders" or "Sparkle Magic" already taken?

If anything I would have preferred they came up with a name that honored Native Americans.

Thing is!!!

In the early teens Cleveland changed their name to the Indians to honor Native Americans. At the time their was a dislike of Native Americans. The name change was considered very progressive!
So now some 100 years later its racist.

Im kind of a baseball historian and had to double check this.

Maybe they need a spacecraft and a raccoon mascot. Or would PETA get upset?

Removing "Indians" is offensive. How disgusting.
People are suggesting "Cleveland Rocks." Who determined the Guardians name?

"Guardians" of what? Home plate?

How about the "Texas Rangers"? Or the "Houston Texans"?
