Wow, I feel that society has righted a wrong!.  First my maple syrup and now this!  

 

The Cleveland Indians are now on the clock.

You mean Cleveland Guardians?

Its a terrible name.  Has no flow to it whatsoever.  Cant even be shortened to anything and everyone is stuck annunciating a stupid 6 syllable football team name.

 

Admirals sounds a lot better

And yet the NFL has Snoop Dog (cop hater whose lyrics promote killing cops) as the halftime show. That is OK but we can't have the name Redskins.

 

It's Dre that was part of "F the police". Not sure Snoop ever made a cop killer lyric song. 

 

Not wholesome lyrics so I get the point.

Still 6 syllables

Its a terrible name but it will become more palatable as time moves along.    Still cant believe they spent two years as the "Washington Football Team."

They'll always be the WTFs to me.

For those that are just responding to the thread title...this still isn't even a confirmation. It's an ex player talking about a name. If you listen (and I know 99% of you didn't) a case could be made that it's his speculation and why he likes it.

Seemed like morning to me....lol

That was Rocketship 7 in the morning, right?

 

That's what I remember.  We had a small TV (well, small for its time) that sat on our kitchen table that I would turn on while eating rice krispies.

 

Star Blazers was after school....although I'm pretty sure that was when I was older.

It's official.

 

The Commandos.

 

 

[papazoid]

All this time to come up with Commanders? Weak sauce, TBD definitely had better suggestions imho.

Wonder if the K.C. Chiefs will be on the board for a name change also.

In a time when sports teams and culture in general is becoming more sensitive toward stereotypical names and imagery around indigenous people, Im shocked that Kansas City can still do their pre-game drum ceremony and the tomahawk chop.  Not to mention the fact that fans are dressed like native Americans chiefs.  

For the life one me, I can’t figure out how this is acceptable.  It’s one thing to say that a name like “Chief” or “Brave” is a tribute…it’s another to essentially parody aspects of their culture.  

[Blainorama5]

Does this mean their QB will have "Command" of the offense?

 

Yeah, it's early...  still on first cup o joe.
