Cleveland Indians have chosen new name
-
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.

Great post. 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.

I would have much preferred the spiders.
But they were literally the worst baseball team in history.

Familiar ground in Cleveland.

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.

Wasn’t the WNBA team called the Rockers?

I just realized that Rockers was the name of the now defunct girls pro team. But so what.

Oh no that one's verboten. Indians pitcher John Rocker said some non politically correct things a long time ago.
