I want that name changed and everything named using the word America. American League, American Football Conference, NATIVE AMERICAN, "America the Beautiful", Bank of America, Great American Ballpark, United States of America, North America, South America, Central America, etc. etc. etc.
But hey, we can all feel great now that a baseball team in Cleveland has changed from their terribly offensive name "Indians" to the "Guardians."
What a joke.

If I was a fan of that club, I would honestly rather see them do what the Washington Football Team did. It's less stupid.

Think I’ll call them the G-Men.


Sheesh.

What are their uniforms going to look like? Black cloaks?

Not a fan of name changes. Once all the so called offensive names have been changed the woke crowd will find something else to be offended by. The Orioles are offensive to bird lovers, etc. But a franchise is not defined by its name, it’s defined by its history. So change away.

I hope that I don't offend anyone by saying this: I'm offended that you are offended

That's it, I'm leaving the hobby.
