It isn’t terrible but I still love Chief Wahoo

They'll always be the Indians/Tribe to me.

MLB is another spineless league….

It's garbage. I would imagine the people that are good with the new name don't give a damn about the Cleveland baseball team in the first place or baseball in general. Probably just enjoying the 'shock and offend' value of the whole thing.

Maybe they are trying to alienate the old fans and bring in a new crop of Baseball fans from gen Z? I don't imagine that's going to work just because of the pace of the game.

I think the real question is how will the new name play in Charlotte Nashville or Las Vegas.

all these matters are just fake intentional victimhood to get more and more power over ever aspect of American culture

Baseball fans are old and old people are going to be the most crotchety about this change, so that's fun.

Good name

Bad logo

Never really followed Baseball (Basketball not at all), but the Indians and the Reds were Teams that I'd pull for.

PC is in overdrive - has been, and always will be abhorrent.

PC / SJW f#ck up everything they get involved with   .   .   .  

Anyone see the stuff on the Ge0rge Fly0d mural that got hit dead center by a Lightning Bolt ?

Wiped out the mural (Bricks and all), but left stuff around it.

Better items out there, but to the point.

Haven't given up on you yet, even though it is a long shot.

What exactly do you think you stand for?

"Free thought", "critical thinking" etc?

Believing batshit conspiracy theories to feel special just makes you sad.
