The world of being woke!!!!
Unbelievable. Let’s hope the Indianapolis Indians remain “The Indianapolis Indians”.
So sorry is somebody else’s compassion and consideration make you feel uncomfortable.
Get a life, Dan M. This is not compassion or consideration, this is pure, unadulterated, woke BS….and it is pathetic beyond words.
Sounds like Dan got “triggered” by Clark! 😂
So let me get this right, you took over a year, 1200 names in total were reviewed, and you chose Guardians?! Wow, I would hate to see what the other 1199 choices were if Guardians was the best you could do.
You have got to be kidding. This comes from an alumni of Miami University, a school that used to be known as the “Miami Redskins.” Now the name “Redskins” could be construed as a racial epithet. It wasn’t meant as that when it was created but within the context of our culture over the last 50 years it became problematic. I would have preferred that they come up with something more historic and less generic than “RedHawks.”
But, changing the name of the Cleveland Indians is out of your mind crazy. For one thing the very name “Indian” is a mistake since the Europeans started calling the native population “Indians” because they thought they were in India and didn’t realize immediately they had found an entirely new set of continents.
For one, you don’t name something that is important and indeed dear to your heart, if you are a fan, a name that is disrespectful to ANYTHING! That is counter intuitive and exactly opposite of what you would do if you want to inspire admiration and appeal. That would be like naming your home town or College or University or High School team “The Village Idiots!” That name is meant to be disrespectful.
If they can do that to the Cleveland Indians, how long before they come after the state name “Indiana?” And how about our state capital “Indianapolis?”
That fact that people today cannot see this is mind boggling.
Trying to cull the known world of history (both good and bad) or references to history (both good and bad) comes straight from the writings of George Orwell. You know that guy, who although he considered himself a socialist, wrote prolifically to expose and fight against the scourge of Soviet Style Communism.
We as a society have made ourselves totally immune to the awareness of Marxist thought and ideology. This name change comes right from very depths of Marxist cultural change agents and all that that incurs.
BINGO, Neil. Well-stated.
Pathetic
42 year long Tribe fan.
Won’t be going to games anymore, thank God we have the Browns still.
I wonder how many people were outraged when they abandoned the Naps nickname.
I am not in favor of much of the political correctness, but unlike names like “The Knights” or even “Cavaliers” for the Cleveland basketball team which reference a much more generic occupation that could be the same as saying “The Soldiers”, I think the Indians name does represent a particular ethnic group in a way that they don’t seem to like being represented. I think the intent was to connote the idea of them being fighters, in the positive sense, but I think they instead feel like it dehumanizes them into being caricatures. I think we have to respect that concern and that on this issue, in isolation from a lot of the other nonsense going on, that they made the correct decision. Whether you like the replacement name is a totally different discussion . . .
