Gorka Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 interesting. A glimmer of hope they'll have to give it up. Most likely a handsome cash settlement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 "guardians" is a stupid name. Baseball is boring enough without going woke to avoid hostility by the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browns fan 1977 Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 They should of made a dick move and said ok we will rename the Indians to the Red Skins. It is clear they don't know our history to why we were even called the Indians but I love how they went all out and got Tom Hanks to do the video of the name change. Glad he was able to pull away from the Illuminatti parties of sacraficing kids, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 They should have named them the bison. the "cleveland tatankas" sounds cool. We saw about 160 buffalo around our car, within six feet of it a few times..... I don't believe the bison would mind and sue the cleveland team.....

Gorka Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 You can argue that if the reason behind a name is not obvious, then the name is stupid. Browns, Steelers, no explanation needed. Ravens, Edgar Alan Poe from Baltimore , wrote "The Raven". Houstons importance in the space program is why they are called the Astros. Cowboys, Texans, Mavericks, well duh. 49'ers well duh. Eagles, Philly- the birthplace of our country, the Eagle it's symbol. Some teams are named simply named to reflect powerful or majestic animals, Bears, Tigers, Lions, Bengals. And a Ram will knock you into next week. Animal names are high school. Some teams named after animals native to their areas...Devil Rays, Dolphins, Seahawks, Diamondbacks (also the baseball field is known as a diamond] Some teams are simply named to reflect fearless or brave men, Vikings, Indians, Raiders, Pirates, Braves, Cavaliers. Thats high school. The Lakers were originally from Minnesota "The Land of 10,000 lakes". Reds, Red Sox..simply the color reflected in their uniforms. Washington Capitols, well duh. The Jets play near LaGuardia Airport. Who the fuck could deduce from "Guardians" that Cleveland has two traffic guardian statues carved on a bridge? What a stupid name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate the name Guardians I hate the reason for changing it. Also don't forget that Paul Browns Bengals named reflect is Massillon Tigers. And New York likes to rhyme their home teams, Nets Jets, Mets. Part of the equipment used in basketball Jets as in West Side Story and the metropolitans. Maybe Guardians are those who guard a tiny fraction of the population from ever hearing their name spoken aloud again in order to make stupid white billionaires feel like they are doing something good for the world. Waiting for these woke assholes to change it to the "I" word. WSS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorka Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 There are the Rockies, (named after the Rocky Mountains btw}, so why not the Rockers? The Cleveland Rockers is a name I can get used to. The world knows that Rock 'N Roll and the Hall of Fame is all about Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
