“Guardians” of wokeism.

In the 1930s and again in 1974 the US conducted IQ tests of the general population and then publicized the results through “academic studies.” Both times listed Ohio in last place ranked by state. This name change is totally disgraceful but You just can’t fix stupid.

Ohh my Gawd. Havent you heard. Thats the most racist and offensive name you could think of. Damn near comes with automatic loss of job and jail time.

seems the name "guardians" is based on the 8 art deco statues over looking the bridge on the Cuyahoga River.

UH OH! Has the Cleveland Indians’ move to rename team the ‘Guardians’ already hit a snag?

A few days ago the Cleveland Indians announced, in a video narrated by Tom Hanks, that the team’s name would be changed to the “Guardians.” But now there might be a bit of a speedbump on the road to the name change:

Did the Cleveland Guardians also forget to check Instagram? This roller derby league stands to make a lot of money if it plays this right.

Looks like the Cleveland baseball team ownership has a deal to make, unless a similar option is available.
