After years of protests from Native American groups and some fans, Cleveland's Major League Baseball team has officially changed its name after more than 100 years.
According to the Major League Baseball (MLB) website, the team announced Friday morning that Cleveland Indians is no more, and the new name, drum roll... is Cleveland "Guardians.

Lord help us.
I read that all receipe books will have to change. This will be a boon to publishers. No longer can any receipe contain the term "egg whites". It's racist.
😕
OMG! I planned on making blackened salmon for dinner! Don't tell anyone, I'd like to eat in peace. Bob
Sounds like they named it after a security firm. Well after all you are in Cleveland. Can I bring a gun to a game?
My business selling feathers just took a nose dive! 😲
Why didn't they go back to their roots and use a name they had in the old days.
Cleveland Naps, Bluebirds or my favorite The Grand rapid Rustlers
Guardians is a stupid name but then The Indians are not the best team around.
Wondering what the Mascot will be? Maybe a mean large Doberman , pit bull .. you know for the druggies in the city.
😓
...All this PC crap makes me crazy...I HATE it..I dont guess these idiots ever learned at age 5..."sticks and stones may break my bones but WORDS WILL NEVER HURT ME"...I bet it really sucks to be them...
Cleveland Liberals
Things like this are why I haven't watched "professional" sports for years now.
At this point, I just dont give a crap. Pro sports these days are so political, " woke," and outright perverted, I just dont watch or ever care to partake.
Baseball and all sports as we know them are getting to be just like this smiley face ->....upside down 🙃
"Never do wrong to make a friend----or to keep one".....Robert E. Lee
exactly what came to mind for me
The LEFT destroys all it touches.
gang bangers comes to mind...............
While I’m against the name change, nothing wrong with Indians, going back to the Naps would have been cool.
These are the guardians that the team was renamed after. Look up the Hope Memorial bridge in Cleveland. I have crossed that bridge many times and I always enjoy seeing the guardians of traffic.
"Woke-ism" is a serious disease.......plaguing our country.........spread by liberal Democraps...............
we all need to double mask against them...............lol
Does that mean Chief Wahoo is out of a job? Seems racist.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I live near two Native American Reservations. If you ask them (and I have) they smile and shake their heads. There are much better issues to worry about.
One day these "woke" fools will run out of things to be offended about. What will they do then?
Multi cultural and diversty will fail in Big Cities where progressive liberals (Bernie Sanders ) control the governments. Crime is running rampant now and when they start gun control because of a minority crime wave it will backfire on them.

Just don't bring the name "Washington Senators" back.
well the headlines " senators get beat " does bring a smile to my face.......
I have a Wahoo patch from the 1950’s. I wonder what it will be worth in Ohio?

What, or who, is it that they are guarding? Certainly not the historical tradition of baseball.
I heard today that my Indianapolis Colts will change their name. The SPCA has filed suit in local court.
