This makes no sense---what will it do?
Watch out state of Indiana; you're next! Guardiana!
As a guardian, I am offended.
A’Ho
It’s about time we finished erasing Native Americans from the public sphere
Thank you Tom! It's about time! I refused to ever say their 'name' only Cleveland. 💙⚾️✌
Good I hope all sports get rid of native american images. It’s racist to have them, they should also take down statues and street names of native americans. It’s racist to have them. They only belong in museums and actual reservations.
So glad they are changing their name, but new name sounds like an insurance company.
I get being attached to a team, but this is something that needed to happen and I’m glad to see them jumping in. Looking right at you, Atlanta.
The kept the name Cleveland?
All true.
So I guess Indian is a bad name now? The Guardians of what?
GrowlinAtTheSun Should have been called the Cleveland Gitme Outta Here's.
These are teams, who cares what they called
They’ll always be the Cleveland Indians
It was too long.
So the sky didn't fall in because of the name change? Well, look at that!!! 🤪
I was hoping for Rockers.
“Indians” name based on a mistake made by the distant racist seafaring travelers.
FINALLY.
Glad to hear it!
Good for them.
Too all of you who think its not offensive.. Do you think this is offensive?
By “many,” do you mean only 20 year old white kids who live privileged lives in the suburbs and want to make pretend that they are fighting Nazis as if they were in a world war?
Love the new Cleveland baseball team name Guardians -- inspired by the historical Art Deco statues found on the Hope Memorial Bridge. ArtDeco Guardians MLB MLBNetwork
Offense or caving..dunno yet but most of the name was saved..that ain't Bball y'all
90% of Indians did not find it offensive. 100% of liberal white women found it offensive. there I fixed it for you.
I like the new name. Its something Clevelanders will understand, and strengthening the tie to Cleveland that much more. It would have been cool if Drew Carey narrated the video.
What marketing genius shot down “Spiders”?
I love the new name! Projects strength and power.
Well, this’ll get them the World Series. Instead of playing, they’ll just have an umpire declare opposing sides incapacitated, steal all their equipment, force them from their fields into the worst nursing home available and blame any exploitation of Blake Parker on the fans.
Looks like the domain name is owned by a men’s roller derby team
I am Groot
SHOW ME SOME LOVE ... 🔥🔥🔥🔥 QUALITY SOUND 🐺🤟🏾👇🏿👇🏿✌🏿🎶
'Many'
So proud of Cleveland!!! Congrats!!! Now the others need to follow suit!
This is like when the Senators got renamed the Nationals. Tame, tepid, boring. There's got to be something better than Guardians.
The name is a reference to the Art Deco “Guardians of Transportation” in Cleveland
Many did not find it offensive npr. Do you have any actual reporters left there ?
Wow. They won’t even say the previous name. Just wow.
In our hearts they'll always be the Indians.
Kinda seems like they stole that from the Angels ….
I would like to hear from any Native Americans who found the name offensive. If there were a sports team named the Honkies or the White Boys, I just wouldn't care.
Of course the ACTUAL name retains the Native American vibe it’s “Guardians of the Flaming Waters”
Wonder how many is “many”? Without arguing right or wrong would be interesting to know. As we know a very few on social media can make it sound like a lot but in reality it was very few.
