But Guardians? That’s just plain dumb, has nothing to do with Cleveland, but not only that, makes no sense in a baseball context. Guardians of what? Nobody is guarding anyone.
Actually, it does. The statues on the Lorain Carnegie Bridge are called the Guardians of Traffic.
I was hoping for Tribe, but that probably wasn't a far enough deviation from Indians. Some Lake Erie (Walleye?) reference would have been my second choice.

I honestly thought the new name was kind of stupid, until I read an article that explained the above. Now I think it is kind of cool.
More cancelled culture nonsensical bs. I'm surprised they haven't cancelled King or Queen sized beds yet. You know, the Queens and Kings might take offense...
I'm sure that this has something to do with states rights to form their own curriculum. Like ClaraC I didn't learn this until adulthood, or at least make the correlation between the western route to India and calling the indigenous people "Indians". Quite frankly we barely touched Columbus and learned more about Amerigo Vespucci.
Additionally, growing up in New England we focused a lot more on the settlers of the new world and the revolution than we did the "discovery" of America. Perhaps it was because there really was no "discovery" and our curriculum was 40 years ahead of it's time? I don't know.
Well, to the part of the world that wasn't still drawing pictures of buffalo on cave walls, it was a discovery.
Such an insult to Mr Soxalexis's and the Penobscot tribe's legacy.
The radical left always does more harm than good.
