I'm sure the internet was super chill about the change, and everyone was totally happy right?

There we go.
What about the Cleveland “Legal Guardians”, since they’ll only be in town every other weekend?

Lol Cleveland. College football Reddit even got in on the action.
With an uncertain number of teams going forward, the Big 12 is reportedly considering a name change to the Big Guardians.

Overall, the general consensus seems to be 'glad it's not racist anymore' and that's a start.
most sports team names are dumb but they're just so old that we've gotten used to them/nostalgic. do I love "Guardians"? No. Is it better than a racist team nickname? No doubt https://t.co/VMaTqgLSc8
