The Cleveland Guardians?
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/23/clev...guardians.html
The Major League Baseball team in Cleveland is changing its name to Guardians, the franchise announced Friday, dropping the controversial "Indians," by which it had been known for more than a century. |

I think Guardians would have been a better name for a football team than a baseball team, but it's not as bad as it could have been.

Independent of the political reasons for the change, Indians is a pretty bland, uninspiring nickname.
Maybe the name with the least pop of all the team names in major and minor league sports in the United States of America. Glastonbury High School in Connecticut chose the name Guardians earlier this year when deciding that Tomahawks was a problem. Compared to the lame Indians nickname, Tomahawks had some oomph. https://www.courant.com/community/gl...ptm-story.html In Portland, Oregon, another high school chose Guardians to replace Trojans. Aside from Trojan being the condom of choice for the boyfriends of the complainers in this thread, it is a cooler nickname than the lame-ass Indians. https://pamplinmedia.com/scc/103-new...tt-high-school From all the pissing and moaning in this thread, it seems that the pissers and moaners have no sense of style. Guardians has a lot more pop than Indians. So stop pissing and moaning as a knee jerk reaction. What would the examiner think if he tapped you below the kneecap with her rubber hammer and instead of the lower leg moving a little, all she got was a patient pissing all over himself and moaning like the world is coming to an end?

If a king of the Trojan Empire time-traveled forward to today, I bet he'd be kind of disappointed about what the word "Trojan" is most commonly used for now. |

Well, some say that history is written by the winners, and wrote a couple books and kept the name alive to inspire someone in the advertising game years later.

Have the folks who run this site reserved Nighthawksplanet.com or Monarchsplanet.com for when “Chiefs” inevitably goes kaput?
