Renaming the Cleveland baseball team (NOT FOR DEFENDING "INDIANS")

I never knew how desperate you were for representation

municipals is worse than calling the team a fish

it makes absolutely no god damn sense from a team sports perspective. "oh god the government officials are going to kick our ass today"

yeah no, send that one packing

That thought for a team name sounds like the sound of a bat on a trashcan at a local ballpark, pool, or other municipalities.

The worst part about Municipals is that for fans around age 60 or more, you associate that name with a relic of a stadium that was usually 80%+ empty for baseball most of the time.

Cleveland Spider Tacks - perfect bridge between history and the modern era!

Be the first team to name after a super hero.

Cleveland Spidermen. The tie ins would be great, and we already know what the uniforms would look like.

Why not the Cleveland Chiefs No one is saying KC needs to drop it

How about the Cleveland Falcons? There's some history there with a former hockey team.

I also like Cleveland Bulldogs.

Protest calling for Chiefs to change name and stop using tomahawk chop planned ahead of Super Bowl

One organizer told CBS News that the use of the name and chop are "dishonorable and disrespectful."

I did not know that but it’s dumb. Only Native Americans use the name Chiefs. The US Navy has Chiefs. Fire depts have Chiefs. Must fire depts nationwide drop Fire Chiefs. Police Chiefs do not matter because we are deciding them
Do not let me start on racist hospitals with “Chief of Staffs”.

I think the AHL team named Falcons was in Springfield. Besides my first car as a teenager was a Ford Falcon and it was a piece of crap.

Spiders are crap. Why would we want to honour such a crappy animal? That's just my opinion though.

I like Falcons & Bulldogs. Of the options listed, Guardians sounds nice. I like red uniforms.

They literally play in Arrowhead Stadium and their logo is an arrowhead. Really not that subtle here.

I'm from Puerto Rico. I'd like to have a team name that honours a cool animal, hence the Falcon & Bulldog suggestion.
