Let's Talk Baseball Particularly the Cleveland Indians
I won't call them the 'Guardians.' There is no chance and they'll always be called the Indians in my book. In other words...
Tradition is gone.
Baseball is woke.
And I hate that freaking net. Again, I hate the net. However, this is about the Indians and their unfortunate name change. Why is it unfortunate? Because tradition is gone- it's gone. After 106 years- 106 years- THE NAME HAS TO BE CHANGED. Why? Hysteria. The press is hysterical, the politicians and supposedly the Indians, as a whole. Look, let me get this out of the way and I have no idea how many Native Americans were 'offended' by the name. I've been to that stadium a couple of times and I never saw any protests. However, I'm told by many in the media that they've been heartbroken by this name for years.
Oooo-kay. So, maybe they are. Again, I admit it-maybe some are. However, my question is- don't they have other concerns? Aren't they worried about healthcare or schooling- oh wait- changing the name of the Cleveland Indians will solve everything.
Please...
I blame the overall weakness of Generation-X for all of this wokeness. My generation knew better that this and thanks to the fact that Generation-X only cares about being popular and cell phones tradition is gone. However, in my book they will always be-
The Cleveland Indians.
