There are still over a billion people worldwide who practice Hinduism. It's just best not to use their actual gods as mascots/logos.

Guardians sounds generic and forgettable.
That logo....yeesh.

I guess the Cleveland Oh Shit The River's On Fire Again doesn't really roll off the tongue

So, Chiefs is gonna be gone soon right?

Probably inevitable at this point

Not sure if trolling or not.... :hmmm:

However if you disagree with my OPINION, then feel free to refer to yourself as one of the multiple "ist" that's popular when in a public debate.

Kansas City Gehas

But hey, you can sleep at night with a clear conscience.

Always look on the bright side of BS.

It’s best if we eliminate as much Native American imagery as possible you know.

I will agree the mascot/image of Chief Wahoo was insensitive and racist. Not sure about the name “Indians” though….

Oh, you are no fun. I just wanted to see what their reaction would be, they might think it is pretty cool. I've driven past their temples, they don't seem to have an issue with displaying their gods. Karna has a pretty unique lightning bow thing that could work as a logo. "no, no, that isn't a native american bow, that is an India indian god bow".

I still think, if they wanted to, they could get ahead of it by utilizing Chiefs from different cultures. Most civilizations had a Chief you could choose from, and we use the name in our military as well, so we could even have some of them. We have chosen to be more inclusive and celebrate Chiefs from around the world...

And if they wanted to, they could just say "Because **** you. That's why."

Yep, if you ever see the mob come after Hunt and this organization to the point where they have no choice, they will just rebrand rather than rename. The term 'Chief' is not trademarked by Native Americans last time I checked.

A military style uniform would be pretty badass now that you mention it, and also rub it in the face of the mob who forced the change. Perfect solution.

I still don't think it'll be an issue though. The Chiefs and Braves both really have solid ground to stand on, there's nothing offensive about their brands and anything that was, they've already eliminated.

Spiders, Rocks, Steamers, Clinics ALL would have been better. I hate this PC crap.

Guardians? What the **** are they guarding? :spock:

Obviously I never gave it much thought, or gave a shit, but it seems like Cleveland Rockers would have been a better choice. The logo could have been a baseball with a guitar neck coming out of it, or a guitar with baseball stitching on it. Direct tie in to a local tourist draw. Mascot could have been somebody playing a guitar. Wouldn't have offended anybody. Hell, many locals might have even embraced it.

Probably makes too much sense for the woke crowd, though.
