justice98 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 As far as baseball names go, Guardians is no worse than calling a team the Red Sox or White Sox. Those lame ass nicknames are just grandfathered in to acceptance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Also, tbh Guardians isn't bad, especially when you realize most yeam names are more about the message/history than its actual name. I mean, there's a team named the Cubs... The ****ing Athletics... The Mariners... The Padres? The Dodgers? What's a Dodger? Silver spooned 'Nam recruits that fake medical exam results? Yuppies that avoid retail? You get the idea They'll be fine People were crapping all over OKC too, and then they got good, and all of a sudden people were bopping to "Thunderstruck " by AC/DC and yelling "Thunder Up" Same with the Heat, and Magic, to a far lesser extent.

The Evil Genius Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Even worse, the Brooklyn Dodgers were originally the Brooklyn Bridegrooms. 😆 They didn't become the Dodgers until the 1930s (after changing their names several times in between).

They were the Brooklyn Grays as a minor league team but then combined (married) with a few other minor league teams and joined the National League and were called the Bridegrooms. Old time names and current minor league team names are the best. My favorite is the Rocket City Trash Pandas.

The Evil Genius Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Not being dismissive here... but if true, the Rockies uber Dinger fan story/uproar would have been hilarious 3 years ago.

If I’m Kieth Olberman and the like, I’d probably make sure I have all the info before I make statements that I am unwilling to admit I’m may be wrong.

tshile Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The Marlins dude’s response yesterday was pathetic he took the question of what to think about the outraged drummed up over something that didn’t happen, and seamlessly pivoted to “well if it didn’t happen this time, the truth is it happens all the time” surely if it happens all the time then there should be no issue finding players to confirm that? Finding some specific instances where it happened? or maybe he’s so infatuated with racism he just finds it anywhere he looks for it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
