The Cleveland Baseball Team


Why don’t we just do away with all team nicknames? I am sure someone somewhere is offended by each and every Pro, College, and High School nickname and/or mascot.
 
Chief Wahoo, their mascot, should have gotten the boot a long time ago.

I hope they can come up with something better than Washington. I know they have been pressured for years to do this. It’s not like they haven’t had time to come up with a name.
 



Braves?
Seminoles?
Trojans?
Fighting Irish?

If you look hard enough you can find an aggrieved party, somewhere. Welcome to The Victimhood Olympics.

Trojans & Fighting Irish :rolleyes:

Arkansas State and Stanford used to be Indians. And North Dakota, from Sioux to Fighting Hawks.

Kansas City Chiefs? Chicago Blackhawks? Illini? UH-60 Black Hawk?

Anyway, I thought Native Americans people was proud Indians and Redskins teams.

Wouldn't surprise me if a groups of lawyers/entrepreneurs are backing some of the protests. After all, there's money to be made in trademarking potential names in advance.

Man trademarks over a dozen possible names for Washington NFL team as they get rid of "Redskins" - CBS News

BTW, anyone protesting the San Diego State Aztecs?

[Sarcasm]

Evidently it's okay for a tribe to use its own name, such as in conjunction with operating a casino -- where it gets the money. Yup, totally, uh, dignified use. However, it apparently becomes inappropriate when using a tribe name on something unsavory, such as a Major League Baseball team or college/high school athletic program -- where the tribe isn't getting (much of) a cut of the revenue. Okay, got it.

[/Sarcasm]

The Cleveland Indians basically retired the Chief Wahoo logo following the 2018 season, replacing it with a block "C". I agree that should have been done long ago.

Can't wait for animal rights activists to start protesting and demanding teams stop using Tigers, Wildcats, Bears, Huskies, Gators, Longhorns, Eagles, Ducks, Bison, Spiders, Bees, Gamecocks, Panthers, Marlins...

Or perhaps UNC Tarheels
Does UNC's 'Tar Heels' name celebrate the Confederacy? Some think it's time for change. (fayobserver.com)
 
That's it, I'm done watching baseball forever. I mean, I'm still done watching baseball forever and this doesn't change anything.
 




The Seminoles are at least a tribe, right? Is that how they have escaped a similar fate?

I'm plenty offended by the Yankees and the Cowboys. Those two are damned offensive indeed.
