This generation is triggered by everything. With this being said i certainly understand why the name had to be changed. America has a lot of sports teams named after Native Americans and there is not even any Native Americans on those teams. Imagine trying to kill them off in the beginning and then have the balls to name your sports teams after them. Just my wise 2 cents.

Thank you for sharing your free speech opinion and for respecting the lawful decision of a private company
Changing the name is probably a good idea, I'm not so sure it was ever a celebratory name like "Blackhawks" for instance. But "Guardians" is not a good name. The whole idea of a nick name is sort of lame though, I might have tried for soccer trend, and be known as "Cleveland Baseball Club"
So I guess we're in favor of erasing Indians from history. That cuts both ways. Somewhere Lou Brown and Ricky Vaughn are on the warpath.

The name "Indian" refers to a person from India, so it was already a perverted name to begin with.
Now that I think about it, I think Cleveland River Fire is a good name.
We are heading down the wrong path.
It's not like they were the Cleveland stupid Indians, or ugly Indians or Inferior Indians, just the Indians. Celebrated their existence. What the heck.
Just watched the opening ceremony, Two Flag holders for each country, why?
Will their come a day when we have two presidents? A female and a male, then four, a female, male, lesbian, gay guy? Then you will have to have each in black and white, this could get out of hand. Ladies and gentlemen I now pronounce you Mr. Black president and Mr. White president and Mrs. Black president.......
The Washington Football Team has set the precedent.
The Cleveland Indians should of changed their name to the Cleveland Baseball Team.
A lot of Biblical and Christianity associations with the term "Guardian." This name change does not appear to have been thought out very well.
How the hell did this get out of marketing?!?!
No blast from the past? They should have resurrected the Cleveland Spiders name from the late 1800s.
“Cleveland Lebum Left Me Twice” would be better
Totally agree the spiders would have been an excellent choice.

The Guardians??? What are they guarding?
Should have named them after the rich locomotive history in the area...The Cleveland Steamers!
Aren't the Guardians in the same league as the Bronx Fuzzy Teddy Bears? (Y'a ok with that one, Snowflakes?)
It's actually a reference to some big statues on a bridge in Cleveland know as the Guardians of Traffic or something like that.
They are actually kind of cool. Plus it's a nice local connection.

Cleveland rhymes with ducks, starts with see

whitey apparently thought the idea was hilarious and all these evil white racists bought up all the team merch with a smiling 50s, father knows best, white man on them.
Exactly what I would have done!
All wokeness aside, the name “Guardians” is incredibly lame. Groupthink is a terrible, terrible thing.
