its just changing a number after quoting yourself, which we all know you love to do. Figured that would be enough incentive for you.

Or maybe it's just the Indians prediction thread. So it was posted in the right place meaning that person isn't an asshole but a hero.
Carry on.

The Dolans and MLB bring you in to a conference room. The team is getting rid of Chief Wahoo and the name Indians. That's decided, done. They want you to pick the new name/mascot/logo. What's your idea?

What's your idea? The Cleveland Players. The mascot would be a guy playing baseball and the logo would be a baseball. That way we can avoid offending any people, animals or inanimate objects. Now bitch about it jackasses.

Just renaming the team the "Cleveland Tribe" would be easiest. I think the "Cleveland Spiders" would be a cool name to have - lots of things creative fans could do with that.
Asking because I wish the team would come up with a good logo. I feel weird wearing a Chief Wahoo cap around here with so many Native Americans, but the block C is boring as hell.

I love him too. I covered my notebooks with his picture when I was a kid. He's as much a beloved cartoon character from my childhood as Bugs Bunny or Donald Duck. But I'm an adult now, and I understand how he is offensive to some people, and that's more important than how I feel about a cartoon character personally.

You know what's offensive to me? The Philadelphia "Eagles". The eagle is a national symbol and shouldn't be desecrated by a sports team. Ever!
You know what's offensive to me? The Minnesota "Vikings". There's plenty of people with ancestors of Vikings that I'm sure are hugely upset from this defamatory depiction!
You know what's offensive to me? The New York "Yankees". What the hell is this supposed to mean? I'm so disgusted!
Should I go on? I guess I could go on. Until the end of time really. Which I would do but ..I'm afraid to come out of my safe space.

The only people it offends are weirdos who protest for a living.

What the hell is this supposed to mean? I'm so disgusted! Should I go on? I guess I could go on. Until the end of time really. Which I would do but ..I'm afraid to come out of my safe space. I think those are bad examples. Eagles are animals, not humans, so that's obviously not a great comparison to make. Yankees are people from a certain area, like "Hoosiers," rather than a single racial or ethnic group. Vikings are the closest comparison, but it's more of a historic group, like "Spartans" or "Aztecs." There are lots of people who consider themselves Indians in our country today (though many would much rather you use the term "Native American"). We've got Swedes and Norwegians today, but not many people would seriously ask you to call them "Vikings." I also think the Chiefs and Braves are less problematic than the name Indians, because those are at least occupations of sorts. It's the difference between naming your team the Steelers or Packers vs naming them the "Pollocks." I think the best comparison in sports teams is Notre Dame and the Fighting Irish. It's an ethnic group that still exists, and has an unflattering caricature as the logo. The big difference there, imo, is that it's an Irish Catholic school so they basically named their team after themselves. If the Fighting Irish was the mascot for a historically protestant school that'd feel different. If the "Indians" were the professional baseball team of Navajo Nation it'd be different than having that name used by Cleveland.
