Cleveland Indians have chosen new name
-
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.

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.

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

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

I mean, baseball is all homeruns now, right? Or at least aimed towards that. It is kind of funny that the thing that is supposed to be the most exciting is now ruining the sport.
I've also heard older people complain about base runnning
Either way though I find the sport boring as hell so if it starts fading away I'm all for it

When anything happens l ask 3 questions. How will people view this now? How will they view it 10 years from now? How will they view it 100 years from now? It’s a mental trick to remove the reactionary immediacy of things and allows me to be ahead of the curve.
I have a couple bases of comparison. Before my time in the 1950s, my hometown team changed its name from the Reds to the Redlegs. This was due to the “red scare”, and commies were coming to get us, and commies were “reds”, so nobody wanted to be associated with the commies.
On the one hand, that’s ridiculous, right? I mean we’re talking about a baseball franchise that had been around something like 40 years before the Russian Revolution. But such was the power of the immediacy of the Red Scare. Once everyone had their fill of fright they changed the name back, but here 70 years later we still use “Redlegs” as a fun interchangeable name for the hometown team with an interesting story behind it.
In the 1990s l started my collegiate tenure as a Miami Redskin, but by the time l graduated l was a Miami Redhawk. There were some folks upset about that too back then. And even now, a little over 20 years later l run into the occasional older alumni who’s still a little crotchety about it, but those are few and far between and most people just accept that we’re the Redhawks. And in another 50 years it will be just like the Reds becoming the Redlegs, a footnote with a story behind it.
This too will eventually be a footnote with a story behind it. And for what it’s worth l am a baseball fan.
