Cleveland Indians

[guywhofishes]

The Cleveland Indians officially announced their new name on Friday.


Team owner Paul Dolan wrote in a letter to fans the "Indians will always be part of our history just as Cleveland has always been the most important part of our identity.""In searching for a new brand, we sought a name that strongly reflects the pride, resiliency and loyalty of Clevelanders. Guardians embodies those defining attributes while drawing upon the iconic Guardians of Traffic proudly standing just outside Progressive Field on the Hope Memorial Bridge," Dolan wrote. "It brings to life the pride of Clevelanders take in our city and the way we stand for each other while defending our Cleveland process."

Give it a chance. Just look at the improved conditions and quality of life at standing rock since they got rid of the fighting Sioux name. They are going to have to build a wall to keep people out of that paradise.

The best part about all the kneeling and fist raising and protesting is that I have a SHITLOAD of extra time to hunt and fish and do other things now that there is no desire or need for me to watch anything on TV anymore. Silver linings…you just got to find and focus on the silver linings.

Waiting to see what the Redskins new name will be. Guardians sounds like something from the cfl or a minor league team. Most likely will have some marvel theme mascots.

Should have called them the flatuators

I suppose they have to go back and remake the "Major League" movies now.

Give 'em the heat, Ricky!

I get down to that wonderland occasionally. I noticed A slight uptick in the frequency that they have been lighting a vehicle on fire that is broken down on the side of the road. I’m assuming this is either a spiritual water protector type of thing, similar to burning one’s tent or just a way to express pride after the UND name change. Either way, it sure gives me the warm fuzzies.

Do you mean UND or I am missing something, which wouldn't surprise me either.

"The Cleveland Guardians? Sounds like a home security company. What's next? The San Francisco Gender Neutrals The Chicago Cancelers? The Boston Boo Whos? The New Orleans Sissies? The Denver Brokeback Mountains? The Las Vegas Radishes? The Washington Pablums? Help me out here! We are living in an insane asylum. No offense to crazy people. Good grief!!!!!!"

It would not surprise me to see a mascot similar to Superman as the duo that created that character were from and did so in Cleveland. Besides who really gives a rat's &## what a team is called. I think sports figures and now E-sports? figures are paid far far too much for what they provide. I would rather enjoy the great outdoors hunting and fishing than sit in a stadium watching people playing games.

Whoops...yep I meant UND. I got my "UND name change" and "NDSU kneelers" all mixed up.
I'm not woke so it's hard for me to keep it all straight.
If I was woke, I probably would realize using the word "straight" is very offensive.

Hey now...
I've noticed the VERY SECOND I cross the line onto a rez that the road ditches are cleaner, roadside signs are pristeen, houses are well kept, roads well maintained, wildlife abundant ect..
Must be that "native pride" thingy?

Louis Sockalexis

The 1914 season had been an historic one for baseball, as the Boston Braves had stormed back from last place and 12.5 games down to swipe the National League pennant before stunning the Philadelphia A's in the World Series. The "Miracle Braves" captured the hearts of fans in New England and around the country, and when it came to what made them so popular, many began to point (whether it was morally right or wrong) at their Native American-themed nickname.Historians seem to agree Somers and the writers saw this as a dream brand opportunity, and it's quite possible at least some actively remembered the Sockalexis era with the Spiders. Obviously, an exact ripoff of the Braves would've been impossible, so the group went with what they saw at the next-best thing: "The Cleveland Indians."

Why not change it to the givers, and then taker backers?
