Cleveland just cant Windians

How do you get credit for "finding" new lands when there is already an indigenous population?  Write the history books.  The baseball team from the city of Cleveland has been playing in Regressive field since 1915 when the Cleveland Indians had their namesake blessed upon them.  To get this name they went through several poor choices.  (Other names included: Lake Shores, Bluebirds "Blues", and Napoleons or "Naps" for short)  While some of those were short lived the Indians seems to have lasted oh, about 106 years or so.  Our main question is:  What was wrong with being called the Indians?  Is Indian an offensive word?  Is it correct to call someone from India an Indian?  Or, just incorrect to call Native American Indians?  (We're really asking) If it is offensive to the Native Americans, then we agree it should not be used.  Then, we should probably think about changing the history books as well.   If not, why is it not celebrated?  If it must be changed, why not change it to something that will honor the Native American Heritage?  Baseball is an honored tradition and pass time for Americans.  Sports teams connote fierce rivalries, strenuous competitions, fan traditions, and devout loyalty.  We see sport as a positive for society and it would be an honor to have a team named after us.  (The Cleveland Pundits, maybe the Chica.go Punme's?  Our team motto is:  Win.d City and you'll win.d game)  We are a minor team right now but we've got a major league attitude.   

We are not Native Americans nor are we of Native American decent.  That gives us no place in this Nativity Scene but, on the off chance we arent being ridiculous we are occasionally rational.  Did you know, 26 states have names with Native American origin.  Can we start renaming states please?!  We have some great ideas.  A few names were circulating around for the Cleveland rebranding event.  The Cleveland Spiders and the Cleveland Windians are some real and some made up.  The Spiders would be a great name because everyone loves spiders... (serious eye roll) especially late at night when you see some giant wolf spider sprint towards the baseboard and you know one false move and you will be up for the next 4 hours searching every inch of the living space because you'll be thinking about that spider crawling on your face as soon as you lay your head down.  Spiders is a name that just makes you feel good.  The Windians, as far as we can see, is a name that just cant lose.  Another creative option would be The Cleveland Baseball Team.  It didn't work for the football team so why couldn't it not work for baseball.   

Cleveland went and searched the entire galaxy and found The Guardians.  Its a team made up of a suspicious array of individuals on a journey to save the American League from complete domination.  We're cool with it as long as all players use only walk up songs from the actual soundtrack from Guardians of the Galaxy.  The Guardians name actually pays homage to the traffic "guardians" by the Hope Memorial Bridge.  Makes sense because who doesn't love traffic?!  Best of luck Guardians as you battle the villains of the American League.
