Stupid name; ugly logo.

Get used to stupid names like this one. They are going to be the new norm in a society that is offended by everything.

It’ll always be Cleveland INDIANS to me, just like it’s still Washington REDSKINS.

I am at the opposite end. The Guardians make sense. Look at the "Guardians" photo and see what is in their hands? The icons of labor, trucks carrying material to build.

I never had a problem with the name Cleveland Indians. There are obviously other team mascots named after grouos of people: the Minnesota Vikings, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Pittsburg Steelers, Nebraska Cornhuskers, and Dallas Cowboys to name a few. Now Chief Wahoo, on the other hand, was a racist caricature.

As for the Redskins, like everyone else I grew up with Washington's football team named that way. It seems weird to call them anything else. But "Redskins" is a racist nickname for Native Americans. It clearly is. This is a case where changing the name is the right thing to do.

As someone who has a legal Guardianship of a young one, I am extremely offended and plan to protest.

Would you like a team to be called the "Fighting Abuelitas" with an elderly Mexican-American looking woman holding a "Matamosca" in a swinging pose hanging in man caves, hats and t-shirts to make profit? Oh hell no!
