Recently, the Cleveland Indian baseball team decided to change the team name from 'Indians', to 'Guardians'. Haven't heard any whining about it yet, but I feel it's coming. Probably be people burning jerseys and hats and what-not, screaming about how "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND CANCEL CULTURE ARE RUINING 'MURRICA!!!!!!" or some such shit. Not really realizing that their value *just might* go up, since they won't be made anymore, but whatever.
Personally, I don't care. I'm not a Cleveland fan, so it doesn't bother me. Just like when Washington changed their football team name from Redskins to Football Team (placeholder alert!). Even though I'm not a member of a Native American tribe, 'Redskins' didn't really sit well with me in the first place. Some people might not it a big deal - "We're actually HONORING them, really!" - how would they feel if they named the team THIS:
Although to be honest, this might be a better name than the one they have now.
