Anything can offend someone, but that doesn't mean it's not a much better name than the Indians, or that it's a bad choice.

I'm offended by the Los Angeles Angels. I don't want religion in my sports! </sarcasm> Im pretty sure the Tampa Bay Rays dropped the Devil part out of their name because of pressure from religious whack jobs. On Around the Horn the other day, Sarah Spain was claiming the name was changed to Guardians because it has the same last five letters as Indians so the protesting parties could easily alter any new merch. That being said, it was coming from Sarah Spain, by far the most abrasive analyst on ESPN, the show is unwatchable when she is on, I swear Tony Reali is fucking her on the low with how often she wins on that show. --- Ain't no mystery god, peace to the true and living.

I don't really like the name Guardians, but only because it sounds more like an esports team name than a baseball name to me.

I live in Florida, and remember stories about people celebrating the exorcism of Satan from the Tampa team, perhaps those were just reactions after the fact, nobody paid any attention to that bottom dwelling team at the time. They still have the worst stadium in American professional sports. --- Ain't no mystery god, peace to the true and living. I Self Lord And Master. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If thats really what they drew the name from then I think its worth noting the history of the guy, even if it doesnt mean they need to change the team name again.

Which is ironic since Nintendo especially is far less censorship-crazy than they were back in the 80s/90s They even have Bayonetta in SSB.
