thats horrible

in Cleveland's defense I was going to say "thats horrible" to pretty much anything they named themselves

 

[Monster]

I would have preferred “Steamers”

Sounds like my Monday..

Could be worse I guess.

I've heard Native Americans are so repulsed by the name that they are now pleading with them to change the name back to the Indians

I can't believe they kept the name Cleveland

 

[CHIBEAR]

They should've just paid the usage fees and called themselves The Ohio Players

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

Seeing that it is now the Cleveland Guardians, I kind of want Washington to change its name to Washinton Fansided.

In reality, I want them to become The Washington Team of Football. It would be awesome reading a headline like WTF HAPPENED when the team officially would changed its name to The Washington Team of Football.

Yes, I heard that they were not allowed to change their name to The Guardians of the Galaxy.

I don't think it sounds too bad but the name is kind of arena league-ish. The presentation is pretty horrid though. The graphic at the end with the uninspired VO kind of made it come off as an SNL skit.

meh

any name sounds dumb until it's been around for a while and ppl have built associations with it

I mean shit, there used to be a team called the Oilers. Talk about dumb. But once people develop those associations, they get attached.

Houston Oilers was much better than the Houston Texans.

There are a ton of old Cleveland negro league names they could have chosen from, not sure why they didn't go that route. Stars, Elites, Hornets, or Buckeyes, although the last probably wouldn't fly with OSU.

I could see avoiding that route too. Just keeping race and politics out completely.
