The Major League Baseball team in Cleveland is changing its name to Guardians, the franchise announced Friday, dropping the controversial "Indians," by which it had been known for more than a century.

Obviously I never gave it much thought, or gave a shit, but it seems like Cleveland Rockers would have been a better choice. The logo could have been a baseball with a guitar neck coming out of it, or a guitar with baseball stitching on it. Direct tie in to a local tourist draw. Mascot could have been somebody playing a guitar. Wouldn't have offended anybody. Hell, many locals might have even embraced it.
Probably makes too much sense for the woke crowd, though.
I saw on the news this AM they chose Guardians as the name because an old bridge in Cleveland have statues built into them that are called "The Guardians." OK, but still, there would have been a dozen better names. The Rocks or Rockers would have been great.

Nobody gave a shit about what some 1/16th Cherokee larper thought.
