Blackwater 53393 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 The Cherokee in me says they’re the “INDIANS” and that football team in DC is the “REDSKINS” and anybody what don’t like it should take note of the mistletoe on my shirt tail!!

People will eventually forget about the name the Indians unless they're fans like us! I hate the name but I'm trying to get on board somewhat! I will never buy anything with Guardians on it and if I go to a game I've got Chief Wahoo shirts and a cap that I'll wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 OTOH, the Colorado Rockies took 2 out of 3 from the Dodgers, to mark the first time since August 2018 they did that in Coors Field! Go Rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that and I’ve been a fan since the 50’s also but living in the Cleveland area it’s hard not to refer to them with their new name since all the news channels, tv and radio baseball broadcasts and a lot of people that have gone on board. That’s what I have to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savages, wish I'd thought about that name years ago when I was on a bowling team. Cleveland will always be the Indians Washington will always be the Redskins Atlanta will always be the Braves There is no shortage of offended people, even though they can trace their history back to a lineage of idiots.

In most of the cases of offended people it starts with white liberals telling the people that they should be offended. They think people other then themselves are not intelligent enough to make these judgments on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could maybe go for that!! The original name of the Cincinatti team was the Red Legs! Too offensive to some. They changed it to the Red Stockings, but that was too close to Red Sox so they finally became just the Reds. The Braves started their life in Boston, moved to Milwaukee, and finally wound up in Atlanta. The Athletics began in Philadelphia, migrated to Kansas City, and are now in Oakland. The Giants are from New York City, but now reside in San Francisco and the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn to LA!! None of them changed their names!! BUT!! The Houston Colt 45s changed their name to the Astros, ostensibly because NASA moved to Houston, but it’s rumored that the name change was for other political reasons. OH! And the Senators moved out of DC and became the Rangers!! Some other teams just folded and there are other teams who have moved or mutated in some way!! All are just marketing ventures and few have ANY true loyalty to their town or region! SAVAGES!! I LIKE IT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new owners of the Cleveland Indians kowtowed to the MLB commissioner to get rid of the Chief Wahoo logo or they couldn’t have the AllStar game in 2018 (I believe) Money move!! I’m sure they got pressured from MLB also to change the name. The Toronto Blue Jays wouldn’t allow the Indians to wear Chief Wahoo on their uniforms!! These owners are all about money and pleasing the liberals!! It really stinks but I love the game so what can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessey Hightower Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Guardians?!?!?!? Times change. . I quit listening and or watching games a few years ago for a few reasons.

Say it aint so… Yep NL has the DH. In the 10th inning of a tie game a runner is placed on second which I absolutely hate! Word is they won’t do it for the playoffs or the World Series.

I was in Colorado for a few days and while the mountains are pretty I’ll take Cleveland and especially Ohio for the politics. Also they get a heck of a lot more snow than we do especially in the mountains. No thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I was a Baseball fan from Mid 50s on. I remember rushing home so I could get the latest in 61 of the Mantle and Maris Home Run race. Then turned off when they put an asterisk by his record because Ruths record was sacred. Later the record was broken many times due to drugs and non ever received an asterisk. We had Season Tickets like forever with the Cubs and went to many White Sox Games also. I also attended many Baseball Shows to meet retired Players and Hall of Famers, many times driving 500 to 800 miles. Then something happened to baseball, all the enhanced drugs, out of this world salaries, and if they got a owie, they were put on the disability roster. Anyone remember Mantle playing hurt, players after a game telling their managers that they broke a finger or two during the game yet kept on playing. I loved the game, but the game and the players left me. Same for Football, I haven't watched nor supported a Team since the kneeling incidence which they now cover up by not showing the Anthem. The owner of our local team has a yacht that would shame a cruise ship with heli-port and a 40 ft boat in its hanger. Yet every year they demand that the city, actually us the Tax Payer, make upgrade and changes to the Stadium, with owner not dropping a dime. Do it, or we move the Team. There comes a time when enough is enough and they met the criteria were I no longer support Pro-sports, nor their sponsors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wear my Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn jersey. I was an extra in "Major League II" and I always wanted a jersey like the ones in the movie. A home jersey and road jersey for Ricky Vaughn turned up on Ebay and I got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
