Lifelong Tribe fan here. Here is Google street view of the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge that features the Guardians of Traffic. They really knew how to build things with style back in the day.

Guardians Of Cleveland Baseball Inspired By Iconic Guardians Of Traffic

The bridge’s guardians are icons for the city, imagined nearly a century ago, when Cleveland was the fifth largest city.

So are they also going to demand that people stop using the "tribe" reference when referring to the Indians?

Cleveland Indians announce franchise's new name: the Guardians​



The Cleveland Indians will soon be known as the Cleveland Guardians.

Announcing the impending name change with a video narrated by Tom Hanks Friday morning, the MLB team crept closer to ending the saga of altering a franchise identity that has long offended many Native Americans. The new name will take effect after the 2021 season.

The crazy left wing bigot Democrats should also change the name of Ohio if they are against Native American names.

What does "Ohio" mean? The name Ohio originates from the Iroquois* word for "good river." This name was later translated by the French as "La Belle Riviere" (the beautiful river). Ohio is the 17th state admitted to the Union March 1, 1803.

The Indians don't mind when the words are used for a title of a non-sporting entity making money off of their likeness or image.. Oklahoma is Choctaw for "land of red man".

I don't recall Dan Marino ever running around in a Flipper costume, but no one gave a shit about the name "Dolphins"...
 
When are they going to make The Yankees change their name?

You're the one who is triggered. They changed their name, BFD. They had their reasons, and the reasons were valid. Now they can no longer wonder if Native Americans are offended by their name. Times change, opinions change, and names change.

No one wants to be named after an arachnid, because nobody likes arachnids.

Cleveland Spiders was the team that had Cy Young on it and it would be a throwback to the famous team that the Indians replaced.

Guardians is just gay… Might as well went with Knights instead…
