Fans and social media users sounded off in opposition on Friday following the announcement that the Cleveland baseball team, formerly known as the Indians, would be changing its name to the Guardians after 105 years.
“As a lifelong Cleveland Indians fan, who’s very first job was selling snow cones and peanuts at Indians games in the old Cleveland Stadium in the 60’s, I believe I speak for many in saying that the ‘Cleveland Guardians’ IS THE STUPIDEST NAME FOR A TEAM IN ALL OF BASEBALL,” said Pastor Darrell Scott in a tweet.
