Never really followed Baseball (Basketball not at all), but the Indians and the Reds were Teams that I'd pull for.

PC is in overdrive - has been, and always will be abhorrent.

Seeing as how Robert E Lee and Stonewall were leaders of armies which fought an armed rebellion against the United States - the very definition of treason - Wendy's tweet is a prime example of needing to think about your tweet before sending it.

But, as a Reds fan, the concept of a Reds-Guardians rivalry doesn't seem to have the same oomph as a Reds-Indians one.

This is in reference to tearing down of Statues and the rewriting of History.

No need to think about it, most folk are against that.

if you think tearing down statues of traitors that fought the united states is "rewriting history" then you're in for a shock when you hear books and museums exist.

It certainly is. That was Lincoln's doing in the first place to help heal the nation, something that you people are interested in whatsoever.

Actually, not true. The south was NOT trying to overthrow the gov, they wanted to leave. secede.

"treason

noun

English Language Learners Definition of treason

That's actually a great Point Cal. When you get right down to it our founding fathers were the traitors. But they won.

Meaning that the Democrats hatred of treason is at the very least situational. But that's not really part of this conversation.

I don't think anybody on this board seriously supports the idea that we should have changed the name of the Cleveland Indians but let's say somebody here does oh, and isn't just being an a******..

For you guys, don't you think it's about time we changed the names of the Tuscarawas or Cuyahoga Rivers? How about the name of the city Sandusky? Or Ottawa County? And what will we change Lake Mohawk to? It never ends, like the outrage of democrats. ???

Not to mention Lake ERIE

How about the "Browns" ?

It is the color of perceived racial discrimination.

Yea, we all know they were named after Paul Brown, but since when has that mattered too these lunatics ?

Probably further down their list, but they've already got the Redskins.

the Spiders might have been better and cheaper

interesting. A glimmer of hope they'll have to give it up.

Most likely a handsome cash settlement.

[calfoxwc]

"guardians" is a stupid name. Baseball is boring enough without going woke to avoid hostility by the left.

At least it's not the Spiders.

I would have much preferred the spiders.

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, 

[calfoxwc]

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.....
