Cleveland Indians Looking Into Changing Name
-
FSU, Atl, and rest will follow suit, and quickly.
Nah, I think Florida State and Atlanta will be fine. FSU works alot with the native Seminole tribe and donates money to them regularly, while the Braves are actually using a positive moniker.

Don't forget the part where the people that complain about others being outraged will themselves be outraged but unable to see the irony
I'm 52 and thought the Redskins was a weird name even when I was 12ish.

Redskins is as flaky as I get. I myself hope the other Native American nicknames stay..... I'm just hoping they don't go after the Angels.

I say change it to the Savages

Does this mean the Indians are WS bound? Seemingly is the talk every time we are in the WS

Do you see what you're doing? You people always initiate being outraged...this time over sports names. The objections from those opposing name changes you then flip back on them and call it being "outraged" and worse "irony". It doesn't work that way bud but good try.
Accept and fall in line with your outrage is what you're really saying. Aint happening.

Are people actually offended by the nickname 'Indians'?
Next Cowboys will be banned because cows are offended that they're being called boys.

That's a reach. But the idea that liberal fucktards would want to tear down Grant's or Lincolns statue was also a reach.
But to your question...yes. By the same suspects that are offended by everything else.
But whether we as non Indians are offended or not is irrelevant. Getting rid of the name is not our call to make in my opinion.
My feeling is that if Native Americans are OK with it then I'm OK with it. If they're not then...

"Redskins" . That's the only one that's troublesome for me as well.
The more you ponder the name the nastier it sounds, unless you're thinking about potatoes.
The name has been around so long we think nothing of it. Hearing "Redskins" uttered and the fact that it's derogatory or racist never even enters our minds. Our attention is solely on the fact that it's a football team we're talking about.
But pretend the Redskins never existed. Would such a name be considered today for an expansion team ...to "honor" Native Americans? No way Jose, and its not because we're turning into a society of snowflakes, it's because it just sounds insulting no matter what your ideology.

I wonder if Indiana will have to change names?
