| quote | | The name “Guardians” . . . refers to the city’s famous Art Deco statues. The four pylons of Cleveland’s Hope Memorial Bridge . . . which connects downtown Cleveland with the . . . Ohio City neighborhood across the Cuyahoga River, each contain two unique sculptures, one facing each direction. These 43-foot-tall sandstone slabs are known as the “Guardians of Traffic.” |

This brief report really nails it, with another top shelf (quality) photograph of the "Guardians of Traffic" Art Deco monument, just 0.3 miles from Progressive Field, where the Cleveland MLB franchise plays their home games.
"The ‘Cleveland Guardians’? Here’s what the new name represents"

"Chief Wahoo" can rest easy, knowing that the Indians legacy will be in capable hands when the venerable American League franchise convenes for their first 2022 regular season home game as the Cleveland Guardians.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 07-29-2021).]

I use to watch baseball all the time.
Growing up it was more important regionally than foot ball. There were a lot of local teams and support.
Overt the years its gone to **** . Glad my grandfather is not here to see it, he was a huge baseball fan.
I really could care less, I would rather they spent time on figuring out how to stop imports from taking over the country.

It's not about baseball, per se.
On second thought, maybe it is about baseball. But it's reminiscent of previous forum messages about the Washington Redskins, before they were rebranded as the Washington Football Team. And another recent thread here, about objections on the part of (some) indigenous American to the Jeep "Cherokee" name.
I hadn't known about these "Guardians of Traffic" sculptures.
I like to imbue (or pretend that I am imbuing) this forum with a certain weekly or monthly magazine kind of aesthetic. The "New Yorker" magazine kind of thing. Not that I'm from New York. Nor do I even have an online subscription to the New Yorker magazine.
It's just for sh*ts, as a guy named Clyde once said to me.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 07-30-2021).]

YOU ARE NOT A JOURNALIST
The "cut & paste" trash that you spew on this forum is NOT JOURNALISM

It's just for sh*ts
I wonder what part of "It's just for sh*ts" he doesn't "get"..? In what way do these four short words strung together in such a brief and colloquial sentence escape his reading comprehension? I wonder why he doesn't start more Topics himself, instead of always following me around here on the forum, nipping at my heels like an angst-ridden chihuahua or something.
I wonder why I wonder.
That should do the trick,

Go to Cleveland and say that.
My brother in-law has been a fan for all of his life and this is about baseball. He still flies the flag and gets a new one each year.
For all of you PC ****ers that want this to be about something else, **** you that's why.

Unsurprisingly, that is exactly the content of what you post.
