Major League Baseball team formerly
known as the Cleveland Indians, for
a very long time in the country is
now changing its name for
the obvious reasons that they
were previously named
the Cleveland Indians.
So before we get
to some of the responses and anger,
pushback on this first,
let's go to how they announce it.
What they said, and
exactly what the team name is.
Watch this.
[MUSIC]
>> To keep watch and guard but
makes this game the greatest.
But together,
we are all Cleveland Guardians.
>> They're the guardians.
Now if you look at it,
now we can look at some of these
images that they've now done,
the team name change.
And people that are familiar with
the team or baseball in general,
might see that this is what
I noticed at least maybe I'm wrong,
but the font is very similar as far
as the guardians and the sea for
Cleveland.
But they do have this
winged G wrapped in a baseball, and
also Cleveland 216, I assume this
area code represent 216.
Everybody talks about 216.
So, [LAUGH] >> If you're part of
the Bone Thugs, yes, you do.
>> They will talk about it, right.
>> So, before we get to some of
the pushback from Ted Cruz, and
also Ben Shapiro, you can expect
what they may be saying.
First of all,
do you guys like this?
>> It's a good change as they say,
I'm going to say it is a very good
change from what it was before.
And yeah,
you got like a little God of War,
Hermes was like with the little
wings around them protecting
the ball, it's just like.
>> Protecting, I like that it's
protecting the ball.
>> I'm into it,
I think Guardians is a good change.
It's long overdue.
Guardians also sounds dope.
It's Guardians of the Galaxy.
I don't know what else is
a Guardian, a parent or guardian.
>> The show was slow well guy and
New York when they had Guardians.
Remember the guys the Red Berets
who were on the I say guys generic
men and women were
protecting New York City.
It's Art Deco and
it's really striking it comes
off of that bridge in Cleveland.
And so, it's born of the community.
I think it's really great.
It's way appropriate.
I mean, it's this the logo was
Awkward through the years and and
there are Native Americans who
really are rightfully offended
by it.
And I don't mean to sound so
woke but
this isn't this is an easy one man.
This is really one you need to
change.
Glad that changed that.
As I say it's Art Deco he reflects
the community.
It's a winner.
>> Yeah, that's you pointed out
Mark when you put it out that it
comes to that bridge as we saw on
that B roll there.
Or at least in the promo video that
they put out there.
It's so many fun things you can
do with it.
So these huge guardians over this
bridge that enter the city,
it's still encapsulates the city.
It still provides some kind of
nature, the heart of the city, and
maybe on game days or
saved in the playoffs,
maybe going to the World Series.
You can throw in a Guardian's
baseball cap on one of those fun
start to represent the 216 or
seven with me looking at Cleveland,
it's the 216 in Cleveland.
So let's get to some of
the pushback really fast.
>> So, Ted Cruz tweeted, why does
MLB hate Indians because you know,
check.
Makes a lot of sense when
he tweets.
I've said this before man Ted Cruz
tweets, not to make a point, but
to make sure
that >> People get mad at him.
It's like he enjoys getting
verbally or non verbally actually
sometimes will verbally do it or
just abused on Twitter because he
enters with a bad take.
And he knows it that was
a sarcastic tweet of course but
he knows But
it's just annoyingly sarcastic and
not even making a good point.
Usually if you make a sarcastic
point, you're making a good point
with a joke and wrapped around it.
Instead use make a joke wrapped
around a bad point and
you just lost twice.
Because no one's laughing.
>> And ratioing him is only what he
wants.
It's just like this is BDSM at
this point when he gets ratioed
you're just like, I don't know if I
should be doing this.
>> And then they'll make sure that
folks maybe give him more money and
see how they treated me on Twitter.
Give me money.
>> Well, I mean, you mock it and
it's very mockable but
it is used for just that.
I mean he wants to be relevant as
the position against this kind
of Woke America,
the lives ruining everything.
And so he does raise money off of
it as well as gain some political
currency.
>> Yeah, when he when he bows in
front of Robert Mercer and
Steve Bannon or Steve Bannon
doesn't have any more money.
But like the Koch brothers,
they have to sort of show their
vials of liberal tears and he here.
Here you are.
Here are all the liberal tears I
created like these are not enough.
You like them.
I'm just imagining how it works
because this >> [LAUGH] Definitely
works in some kind of money
monetary exchange for sure.
Ben Shapiro speaking of people who,
got slapped down on Twitter
over their points, he also had
something to say about this.
He tweeted next on the chopping
block, he gives a list of Atlanta
Braves, Kansas City Chiefs, Golden
State Warriors,Chicago Blackhawks.
I can't even believe it.
So that's his tweet and
then he went on to say,
hardest hit the native american
after whom the team was supposedly
originally named, Louis Sockalexis.
So that Particular a person is
who's hardest hit by this.
And he's really upset apparently,
but one user did point out.
Many, many Fidel did
point out to Ben Shapiro.
After he talked about whose heart
is hit and said the native American
goes interesting that you refer to
Sockalexis as a native American.
Is there any reason for that?
Hey, we're so if you want to
juxtapose both tweets together
apparently, Ted Cruz asked why does
Why do people hate Indian so much?
But apparently that answer is
Ben Shapiro because he's woke and
he won't use the term Suckers.
Again, whenever you have nothing
actually substantive or
principle to say about it,
you just go with the nearest thing.
You toss out some meat and
hope that people fight over it and
blood flies.
And that's how you win political
arguments in the country.
Under Muslim we can go for
this type of stuff but
it's outrageous again.
>> Yeah, this owning of the libs
it's a real thing.
It's been around for a while but
it's now really the only way.
That you can elevate yourself
politically because you can't do it
in any kind of reasonable
philosophical discourse about
policy or
about strategies, governmental, and
societal strategies.
So you go for
these wedge issues like this one,
they're controversial and
it's owning the libs.
So if that's how you >> If you've
given up the season tickets for it,
you were given them up anywhere and
you never had them in
the first place.
