Dumb name. They're still the Indians.

No they're not. They're the Cleveland Guardians.

I heard that they were considering the Cleveland Spiders, one of the names they went by before they were the Indians. I hate changing it either way, but Spiders sounds a lot cooler than Guardians ever will.

The Spiders is way worse. At least Guardians has ties to the city.

I just read that the Cleveland Indians were called that in the first place to honor Louis Sockalexis, the first Native American to play in Major League Baseball.
So let me get this straight. The Cleveland Spiders change their name to the Cleveland Indians to honor Sockalexis, but 100 years later, they're forced to change it because people are offended?
This is what happens when you don't learn history.

Did you not see how they depicted Chief Wahoo?

Yes I did, and I totally agree with ditching that logo (see my first post on this thread about that). But I was referring to the "Indians" team name.

Ah gotcha. I personally don't care about the name change and feel that we shouldn't be depicting any ethnicity as a sports team.

Feels like an Arena football team name. I get that it represents those two statues outside the stadium, but unless the helmets have wings on them I won't like it
Like Eagles helmets? Would be doooooope.

Guardians doesn't offend me. It probably offends less people than the former name. Is it the best possible team name? No. But a lot of MLB team names are already sort of bad so its all fine by me.
-
are the indianapolis indians changing their name? i hope not.
-
Guardians offends those that support Space Force lmao
-
Similar thing happened in Canada where the CFL team from Edmonton changed the name from Eskimos to Elks.
With the amount of animal team names, I am sure PETA is getting their Twitter people ready.
