@Frank Lopez it’s ridiculous to call someone a racist because they don’t want their team name that they’ve stuck with for years and years to change out of nowhere because of white liberals. There was a poll on whether native Americans cared or not, and 90% of them said they didn’t think it was offensive. If you change it, you’re making only 1 out of ten people happy and the other 9 unhappy. It is absolutely RIDICULOUS that ANYONE would say someone is evil because they did not want they’re sports team that they are die hard fans of to change their name. To put it simply, you’re on a one sided argument that really aren’t caring for the majority of people in subject.
They weren’t even Natives. Know what real Natives don’t do? They don’t give you a fraction to explain their heritage first lol. “I’m N/D insert tribe”.
Saw someone on Facebook post "about time, now when are the redksins going to change their name? Theirs is even worse!" They don't even keep up with what's changed or canceled. Some book of grudges bullshit.
You aren’t native are you? It doesn’t seem like it. Your people weren’t mass killed by people who came and stole land from natives. Our land was stolen and our people killed and yet people think it’s ok to mock our culture. We aren’t characters. It’s unacceptable.
\@@Preppy.with.cf. My Native friends favorite teams were Indians and Redskins because it represents his people and he was upset about the name change.

You could have been white in your previous life, the very people you likely hate. Why humans identify with races to the extreme of identifying as a being with it is very ridiculous. Do what you can to help your race while you are in that culture. Leave past drama out of it if you want to heal trauma. Isolation is not the way.

NAME SHOULD STAY AS CLEVELAND INDIANS Louis Sockalexis A Native American from the Penobscot tribe, Sockalexis is often identified as the first person of Native American ancestry to play in the National League and Major League Baseball, The name change of the Cleveland Naps to the Indians in 1915 is attributed to a desire to honor Sockalexis. The new name was chosen by sportswriters in honor of the nickname given while Sockalexis played for the Cleveland Spiders.

I am very disappointed and upset with my generation that they have to cancel everything enjoyable for attention so I apologize to the non gen Z generations that have to suffer because of them.
Oh I asked quite a few Native Americans and got mixed results. Those in the southwest didnt mind. Those in the northwest did. As a result of the change I will no longer support there causes. I voted Russel Means for president back in the 80's.
How about the Cleveland Perennial losers.lol But seriously, why do the fans even care? When they were winning a few years back you so called fans didn't support the team yet you fools would pack the stadium to watch the Cleveland Clowns stumble and bumble their way to loss after loss.

There’s no silver lining to it, nothing positive about it, the bottom line is the fans lose the Indians baseball culture that’s been here for over a hundred years because of the SJW’s and the woke mob, the same group that loves to tear down statues is now pretending to praise one.

And please dont gimme the whole 'it's a tribute to Indians or Sockalexis' BS. It's not and never was, if you know REAL Cleveland Indians history.
1:41 "I think it's disrespectful to Indians" You do realize that the team was named after an Indian player who was so popular they renamed an entire franchise after him?
Except Louis Sockalexis was opposed to it as people would come to the games in feathers and warpaint which is pretty offensive to wear if your a white person. And later the team started using a mascot that literally played into every racist stereotype of Native's.
I'm half-native and I loved the Indians and logo. Activists had a problem with the logo, but I loved it. I will be rooting for the Braves ... until the wokesters ruin that too.
@Lighthouse in the Storm Indians , Braves , Golden state Warriors were to honor the indigenous, and not to mock them. Woke mob are the stupidest and most dangerous people in America
Great, now show the majority of people you recorded that hated the name change and most likely commented on how poorly designed and executed the new logo and jerseys were done.
You aren’t native are you? It doesn’t seem like it. Your people weren’t mass killed by people who came and stole land from natives. Our land was stolen and our people killed and yet people think it’s ok to mock our culture. We aren’t characters. It’s unacceptable.
@Ojibway Kay hmmmm, don’t know if you’re a bot or not (You’ve repeated the same statement, like a bot), but the name “Indians” was meant to honor them.
There was nothing wrong with the "Indians" name. My guess is that there were many real-life Indians who were opposed to changing the name to something else. I would think that many were proud to have a MLB Team named after them! It gave them recognition, and to me since i was young, it's always been Positive recognition. American Indians are a huge part of our history...and our present. I actually think this change is BAD for them. To me, this is actually taking recognition away from them.
@@sargentwaag1483 They told Skins fans 3 months before the start of last season they were changing the name, 3 freaking months!!!. That was after the owner swore that the name would never change as long as he was the owner. I was done with them after that, and with all the rest of the NFL nonsense last season, I left the rest of the league behind too.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Having Indians as a name not only is cool. But if anything it’s paying respect to the native Americans by naming a team after them
Jim Thorpe played for a team that called themselves the Indians. It was a point of pride. Indian is a signifier for a group of people, like Yankee or Canuck. Any word can have negative meaning if you assign one to it.
Don’t do it, tell woke culture to go away. The most insulting side of this time is following requests from those who are embarrassed about American values. Try to go to another country and change there values. I truly am disappointed in MLB, and the Americans who support such nonsense.
Please explain how a cartoonish image and a team’s name that has nothing to do with the sport played is “American values”? If there were many natives on the team when they first entered the league or a native owner please inform all us ignorant baseball fans.
I was on a plane and had an interesting conversation with a native American man. He gave me his card and on it it said "Crow Indian Tribal Council". So if it is not offensive to them how is it offensive? Maybe the logo is offensive but not the name. As long as cowards keep giving into trouble makers they won't stop until every statue is torn down. These fans could have stopped this in the bud by staying home from the game. Money talks.
Why not THE CLEVELAND STEAMERS? Flows with the tongue, has a nice ring to it…catchy!! The merch will most definitely make for some great conversation pieces. Plus their fans will have a legitimate excuse for a poor season.
This is what happens when you put people in a front office that are from other industries. The Indian's head of marketing does not have a baseball or even a sports background. It's all about the money in MLB which is ruining the sport. The name change sucks and if they really felt a need to change the name, there were so many better choices. Wouldn't care if they moved the team now.
The irony is when they tweeted out the news, they didn't bother changing their Twitter name... Just goes to show how short-sighted people are becoming...
RIP native Americans, rather than draw attention to your plight. your history and future, we're just going to delete you because of a bridge. Go Cleveland!
When the Cleveland Naps changed their name to the Indians in 1915, the franchise reportedly did so to honor Sockalexis.[11] The Indians' official media guide says that the owners solicited sportswriters to ask fans for their favorite nickname, and the name Indians was chosen by a young girl who wrote to one of the sportswriters whose column requested suggestions. She specifically mentioned Sockalexis and his heritage. The attribution of the new name as being in honor of Sockalexis, a member of the Penobscot Tribe of Maine, is generally discredited given the discriminatory treatment of Native Americans in general, and Sockalexis in particular during that era.[12] The news stories published to announce the selection in 1915 make no mention of Sockalexis.
The owners have the right to call the team anything they want, and I have the right not to watch, follow, or otherwise care about their team. Bad business decision? Oh yeah.
Lmao. This reporter is woke herself. Guarantee you she only used the ones that liked the guardians when she said “most people I talked to”. What a joke.
As a swashbuckling pirate on the high seas of Lake Erie I'm so glad they didnt offend me by calling themselves the pirates, buccaneers, raiders or even privateers or mercenaries.
FUN FACT: After helping Pedro Cerrano and the Cleveland Indians win the pennant, Jobu went on to become the Mayor of Chicago under the alias 'Lori Lightfoot'
Time to boycott Cleveland's team. If they've been using a racist name for over a century, as they now admit, then simply saying they won't do it any more isn't good enough. They have condemned themselves.
How about Cleveland Team Who Lost To The Cubs :3 Sorry, just had to say that, I'm from Chicago :) But yeah, it's so dumb, them giving into the demands of the far left. "Oh, it's offense." There's nothing offensive about using an ethnicity as a team name. I'm Irish and you don't see us whining about the Fighting Irish. My advice for the SJWs, if you find things offenses, well then go drop in a ditch Edit: because apparently life is just too difficult for you; "everything is too offensive".
Step 1: (completed) Step 2: Change the name from Indian casinos to Guardian casinos. Step 3: Change the name from Indian summer to Guardian summer. Step 4: Change the name from Indian Ocean to Guardian Ocean.

1:41 "I think it's disrespectful to Indians"
You do realize that the team was named after an Indian player who was so popular they renamed an entire franchise after him?
Except Louis Sockalexis was opposed to it as people would come to the games in feathers and warpaint which is pretty offensive to wear if your a white person. And later the team started using a mascot that literally played into every racist stereotype of Native's.

Bruh, do you hear anything? The word “Indians” was not spoken in that so called “quote”.
Long live the chief!!!!
Maybe the Somali Pirates find Pittsburg's name offensive? Have they been consulted
I'm half-native and I loved the Indians and logo. Activists had a problem with the logo, but I loved it. I will be rooting for the Braves ... until the wokesters ruin that too.
@Lighthouse in the Storm Indians , Braves , Golden state Warriors were to honor the indigenous, and not to mock them. Woke mob are the stupidest and most dangerous people in America
People are so sensitive it’s embarrassing for the human race
I hope you loyal and right minded Cleveland Indians Fans stand up and boycott.
May they go out of business
Go woke go broke
It will always be the Cleveland Indians … do t care what ppl want or say
Those who wanted to change the name I bet don't know baseball or history
Plus Cleveland Spiders would have been a better name change
Cleveland Crab Lice?
Cause they want me to watch the braves. Oh wait now that I live in Atlanta....f

Fuck them for doing that

@@HappyCamper870 funny how they had the allstar game a few years ago and it was not problem then
Fan revenue will not be strong however. Get woke, go broke
Chief Wahoo was a classic logo
It’s a bad omen
Will never go to another game.
Who cares
Great, now show the majority of people you recorded that hated the name change and most likely commented on how poorly designed and executed the new logo and jerseys were done.
You aren’t native are you? It doesn’t seem like it. Your people weren’t mass killed by people who came and stole land from natives. Our land was stolen and our people killed and yet people think it’s ok to mock our culture. We aren’t characters. It’s unacceptable.
@Ojibway Kay hmmmm, don’t know if you’re a bot or not (You’ve repeated the same statement, like a bot), but the name “Indians” was meant to honor them.
@@brennanleadbetter9708 I don’t understand.!
@Ojibway Kay What exactly do you not understand
@ Ojibway Kay go on, tell me
There was nothing wrong with the "Indians" name. My guess is that there were many real-life Indians who were opposed to changing the name to something else. I would think that many were proud to have a MLB Team named after them! It gave them recognition, and to me since i was young, it's always been Positive recognition. American Indians are a huge part of our history...and our present. I actually think this change is BAD for them. To me, this is actually taking recognition away from them.
thats because you are ignorant,they are human beings not a mascot
Good then they should take all their casino money and buy the team and change the name.
Go Woke - Go Broke
Guardians of Wokeness
Bro that fits so well
Will ALWAYS be known as the Cleveland Indians to me!! 💯💯💯💯💯
A f**king men!
Amen. Chief Wahoo forever!
As a former longtime fan(notice I wrote former) of the Washington Football Team formerly known as Prince, I feel your pain.
Did you give up on the NFL? Im done with baseball.
@@sargentwaag1483 They told Skins fans 3 months before the start of last season they were changing the name, 3 freaking months!!!. That was after the owner swore that the name would never change as long as he was the owner. I was done with them after that, and with all the rest of the NFL nonsense last season, I left the rest of the league behind too.

The Cleveland Guardians? What exactly are they guarding? They have not won any World Series titles.
Sound like a little kid named it and made the logo.
Cleveland Indians . Not Gaurdians.
I’m still going in my Wahoo gear.
You'll still be allowed to wear it, but probably not to the stadium.
Go for it. Nothing stopping ya.
But they won my support as soon as they dropped the “Indians”
Nice! They cant stop you from going to a home game. Thats " racist"
“Natives” was way better. Guardians is very comic book sounding.
Indians are the best sounding.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Having Indians as a name not only is cool. But if anything it’s paying respect to the native Americans by naming a team after them
If they wanted to change name it the Natives
All white woman who are fighting for it…. LONG LIVE THE CHEIF
Well they didn’t ask me. And I think it’s total BS!
Jim Thorpe played for a team that called themselves the Indians. It was a point of pride. Indian is a signifier for a group of people, like Yankee or Canuck. Any word can have negative meaning if you assign one to it.
Don’t do it, tell woke culture to go away. The most insulting side of this time is following requests from those who are embarrassed about American values. Try to go to another country and change there values. I truly am disappointed in MLB, and the Americans who support such nonsense.
Please explain how a cartoonish image and a team’s name that has nothing to do with the sport played is “American values”?
If there were many natives on the team when they first entered the league or a native owner please inform all us ignorant baseball fans.
@@nibsvkh hes a racist idiot
I was on a plane and had an interesting conversation with a native American man. He gave me his card and on it it said "Crow Indian Tribal Council". So if it is not offensive to them how is it offensive? Maybe the logo is offensive but not the name. As long as cowards keep giving into trouble makers they won't stop until every statue is torn down. These fans could have stopped this in the bud by staying home from the game. Money talks.
Why not THE CLEVELAND STEAMERS? Flows with the tongue, has a nice ring to it…catchy!! The merch will most definitely make for some great conversation pieces. Plus their fans will have a legitimate excuse for a poor season.
Most people don't know what a Cleveland Steamer really is. I do, and it's pretty gross🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Im not a indians fan but why change the name ??????? Idk whats wrong with ppl these days. The guardians gimme a break!!!
People are mentally ill these days. It's quite common and very sad.
Cleveland Indians forever in my Heart thanks for the memories!!!! I LOVE MY TRIBE !!!
This is what happens when you put people in a front office that are from other industries. The Indian's head of marketing does not have a baseball or even a sports background. It's all about the money in MLB which is ruining the sport. The name change sucks and if they really felt a need to change the name, there were so many better choices. Wouldn't care if they moved the team now.
As a full blooded Guardian myself, I find this name extremely offensive and want it changed. I’ll be protesting on Twitter accordingly.
The irony is when they tweeted out the news, they didn't bother changing their Twitter name... Just goes to show how short-sighted people are becoming...
@@cratedog64 oh the irony from you
RIP native Americans, rather than draw attention to your plight. your history and future, we're just going to delete you because of a bridge. Go Cleveland!
The name also drew attention to their bravery, courage, and athleticism.
They are the Indians
I am a Guardian and the new name offends me. Please change it,,,
Cleveland Guardians! I guess we can call them the "Guards!" That will sound perfectly underwhelming and 9 out of 10 Native Americans are pissed.
1:49 It’s a 12 year old anime kid what do you expect he will say?
When the Cleveland Naps changed their name to the Indians in 1915, the franchise reportedly did so to honor Sockalexis.[11] The Indians' official media guide says that the owners solicited sportswriters to ask fans for their favorite nickname, and the name Indians was chosen by a young girl who wrote to one of the sportswriters whose column requested suggestions. She specifically mentioned Sockalexis and his heritage. The attribution of the new name as being in honor of Sockalexis, a member of the Penobscot Tribe of Maine, is generally discredited given the discriminatory treatment of Native Americans in general, and Sockalexis in particular during that era.[12] The news stories published to announce the selection in 1915 make no mention of Sockalexis.
I think with the Cleveland Naps they were on the right track,lol.
Why can't a heritage be honored by the name of a professional sports team? It seems to be that would be a great way to show honor
The owners have the right to call the team anything they want, and I have the right not to watch, follow, or otherwise care about their team. Bad business decision? Oh yeah.
Stop this madness, there's nothing offensive about the word indians
The Tribe would've worked too.

So much for diversity. Now you can only have a team nickname if it has to do with whites.
When you think about it, that’s even more racist.
RENAME THIS WHAT IT SHOULD BE RE-NAMED: THE DISCOUNT DOLANS!
Lmao. This reporter is woke herself. Guarantee you she only used the ones that liked the guardians when she said “most people I talked to”. What a joke.
As a swashbuckling pirate on the high seas of Lake Erie I'm so glad they didnt offend me by calling themselves the pirates, buccaneers, raiders or even privateers or mercenaries.
Yeah you're a gay pirate alright
FUN FACT: After helping Pedro Cerrano and the Cleveland Indians win the pennant, Jobu went on to become the Mayor of Chicago under the alias 'Lori Lightfoot'
Time to boycott Cleveland's team. If they've been using a racist name for over a century, as they now admit, then simply saying they won't do it any more isn't good enough. They have condemned themselves.
How about Cleveland Team Who Lost To The Cubs :3 Sorry, just had to say that, I'm from Chicago :)
But yeah, it's so dumb, them giving into the demands of the far left. "Oh, it's offense." There's nothing offensive about using an ethnicity as a team name. I'm Irish and you don't see us whining about the Fighting Irish. My advice for the SJWs, if you find things offenses, well then go drop in a ditch Edit: because apparently life is just too difficult for you; "everything is too offensive".
