Cleveland Guardians, isn’t political correctness great?

I demand they change the name of the Vikings. They are glorifying centuries of rape and pillaging by a bunch of uneducated and overpaid football players.

Absolutely. Given that they are the biggest loser in the NFL it's fitting.

MLB already pledged fealty to violent, racist Marxists. They're dead to me, so I don't care what they do or don't do from here on out. I've watched my last MLB game. They can rearrange the deck chairs on their Titanic all they want. When they sink, I'm not sending the Carpathia out to help.

Some of the reactions are hilarious. The emblem is horrific.

The Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Rangers better follow suit.

Unfortunately I’ve had a 50 year plus addiction to the Detroit Tigers and MLB and just can’t turn my back on them.

I always find it funny reading some of the comments out on the interwebs where the same leftist woketard mushbrains who spend their every waking moment worrying about other peoples business, always respond to criticism with "but it doesn't affect you at all".

So WTF is wrong with the Rangers, let me guess because they're named after a law enforcement agency?

It's not on top of my give-a-shit list, but sad to see. I just think it sends a signal to the world of a pussification of our country. China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, and others now perceive American's as weak pitiful people.

Now let's look at the damage the name change does for sports history. Looking back at stats will be confusing as team names are changed for no reason except to pacify a small minority.

The small minority pushing this nonsense are a bunch of lowly people who need to feel good about something in order to bring meaning to their mundane lives. I don't know how I would make it through life if I was offended by all the trivial things we are now witnessing.

People of strong character don't get offended by sports team names, statues, street names, and whatever else offends the new woke brainwashed generation. These things are just part of our history and culture that Marxist must first destroy in order to divide Americans. Wokism is just another tool to divide and conquer; which will ultimately result in more centralized government control.

Mistake by the lake? Hilarious! Cleveland Polluters might be a better match. Remember when their river caught fire? Buncha dumb asses...
