    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

    And thanks for proving my point.

      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.

              Chief Wahoo.

              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.

                  What exactly do you think you stand for?

                  "Free thought", "critical thinking" etc?

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

                    Seems too be against anything I stand for - this Nation.

                    Woody, it seems you and I are destined to have battles for some time to come.

                    You have the "Education" ($$$), while I have hard knocks and   .   .   .  

                    Don't take this wrong, I truly do respect the STEM that you represent.

                    There's just something that got you off the track so to speak (Formal Education indoctrination).

                    One day in the (distant/not too distant) future we may be friends, even if adversarially so.

                    Nothing wrong with that.

                    Yea, we're going too get pissed at each other now and then, but that's life.

                      I don't think you're a bad guy. I'm not mad at you 

                      I think you're stupid. Maybe not always, but you are now. You believe conspiracy theory misinformation nonsense you find online. It makes you feel special to think that YOU know the truth that the sheep can't see. All conspiracy theorists are there to feel some worth they don't feel in their everyday lives. 

                      To believe that nonsense though you can't be that bright. You're being led around by the nose but you think you're doing the research. You think you're thinking critically. You aren't. 

                      Social media thrives off of an algorithm that puts misinformation like this in front of vulnerable people like you. It drives engagement, but ruins intelligence.

                              I think you're stupid. Maybe not always, but you are now. You believe conspiracy theory misinformation nonsense you find online. It makes you feel special to think that YOU know the truth that the sheep can't see. All conspiracy theorists are there to feel some worth they don't feel in their everyday lives. 

                              To believe that nonsense though you can't be that bright. You're being led around by the nose but you think you're doing the research. You think you're thinking critically. You aren't. 

                              Social media thrives off of an algorithm that puts misinformation like this in front of vulnerable people like you. It drives engagement, but ruins intelligence. 

                              You're not a bad person, you're just a fool

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

                                        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.

                                        true - a new city vying for a team is already woke enough to not want the "Indians"  monicker to hang them with "racist undertones".

                                        (MLB is BS already having moved its allstar game from Atlanta to Denver on a different racist idea  - voter integrity) 

                                        Im  (was) a lifelong fan going back to the cellar dweller years - and now I dont care anymore.

                                        the pecker is right about us older fans "dying off"

                                        maybe its because they (of his age group) cannot put forth a quality image and product on the field anymore - and we arent suckers to this bs
