Because "Spiders" is offensive to the millions of arachnids who are crushed or murdered by imperialist exterminators every year.

I think Guardians is just fine.
Why the hell would a team want to name itself the Spiders? It sounds ridiculous on the face of it, plus did you ever take a look at the Cleveland Spiders' record in 1899, their last year - 20-134, plus a nasty multiple-ownership scandal? - That's what you want to celebrate? Just because it's from the era we like to collect doesn't mean it's a good name, or good karma. Taking potshots at a team's new name is about the easiest and most pointless activity I can think of. Go collect some cards, why dontcha. Misanthropically, Tim |
