Instead of the Cleveland Indians Guardians maybe they could rename themselves the “Cleveland Osamas” or something.
I mean, who could possibly object to that?
Since they were originally the Red Stockings way back when I don’t know why they couldn’t have gone back to that instead of Redlegs. Too gay for the 50s I suppose.
Guardians? Nah, Cleveland doesn’t strike me as all that big a place for space exploration posturing defense.
Why they stopped using “Indians” is pretty straightforward, if long overdue. How they ended up with “Guardians” is funny in a Midwestern way. And yes, the space cadet tie-in isn’t part of it.
I think it was more because they didn’t want to infringe on the Red Sox’s trademark. (And this is important: Wasn’t sure if “Red Sox’s” needed a “s” after the apostrophe—I certainly wouldn’t pronounce it that way—but it looked weird without it. So there.)
You’d be correct to say just “the Red Sox trademark,” with “Red Sox” acting as an adjective phrase.
/pedant
ETA: There’s a whole nitpicker quagmire about using 's or just the apostrophe in such cases. My own approach is to use ‘s when it’s voiced (the class’s schedule) and just the apostrophe when it’s not (the dogs’ kennels).
YMMV
That’s my approach as well. Well, except when it looks weird, I guess. 
It’s that damn X weirding everything up. Ya hear me, Musk?
If i might hijack this thread about baseball name changes with a freakout of the right, Fox News is using the latest astroturfed country song about hating the less fortunate just like Jesus said to do to rage about “how DARE the poors be allowed to have Coca-Cola!”
Are they calling Coca-Cola “diabetes water”?
It wasn’t all that long ago that they were astonished and outraged that poor people owned refrigerators.
Not even “owned,” which would imply actual paid ownership. “Have,” by the very words of the slide on Fox.
Maybe I did miss it, but one freakout that I did notice coming from a worker, from another department, was the one about the Right being convinced by memes and right-wing sources that crime in California cities is rampant because the laws against petty crimes were relaxed, never mind that shoplifting is still a crime, the right wing has declared that facts do not matter, the shoplifting crimes seen on videos are bad, but not the norm, but the right wing has to freak out about it.
And in the latest doggone ridiculous freakout, we have…
RNC ‘Soulless Ghouls’ Ripped After Launching ‘Dumbest’ Attack On Biden Yet
President Joe Biden took a moment to pet a search-and-rescue dog while visiting the scene of the devastating wildfire in Maui ― and the Republican National Committee threw an absolute fit over it.
While meeting with first responders, Biden shook hands with the handler, pet the dog and noted that it was wearing boots to protect its paws.
“That’s some hot ground, man,” Biden said.
The RNC Research feed, which claims to be “exposing” Biden, posted the damning footage of him being caught in the act of petting a dog
The horror!
So Biden takes some time to greet first responders and a search-and-rescue dog, before making a few remarks. Well done, Joe; you’re a class act!
I can’t imagine Trump in the same situation. “Pet a dog? What, and get dog hair on my suit?”
Dogs have a very good judge of character Trump. Not trying to pet a dog would be one of the smartest things Trump has ever done. Least he wants to end up in the hospital.
DJT remembers when he attempted a photo shoot with an eagle.

Posting the damn video works/doesn’t work based on some whim.
The Right’s actual complaint is that everyone knows all first responders and their dogs are reliable R voters. Especially the dogs. So Biden is faking a connection to these fine folks, attempting to suborn them with his communist / progressive / woke cooties.
That’s an outrage! An outrage I say!!!1!!!1! 
Aren’t you not supposed to pet working dogs when they’re working? That’s what it says at the O’Hare TSA checkpoint, anyway.
Still, if that’s actually what the right is freaking out over* this time, that’s pretty lean kibble.
(*As a complete tangent, let’s see how many prepositions we can string together in a coherent sentence. “The right is freaking out over up to 2000 irrational things.” There, I got three. 
)
What did you bring that book that I didn’t want to be read to out of about Down Under up for?
