Meh. Lot's of good times AND heartache. It's just a name.
Edit
How many times at a chance at a World Series title and came up short? Maybe a fresh start is a good thing.

Personell, coaching, staff and ownership changes are a fresh start.
Acting as though a name magically wipes the slate clean and somehow the short comings of days past will be forgotten is.... silly at best.

Major League Baseball has little else left going for it than tradition.
I guess this is good news for hockey.

Well, it has that, and also it has the fact that it draws more than triple the number of fans of any other major sport in this country:

Could be simple and just call them Tribe, since that's what most fans use anyway.

Personell, coaching, staff and ownership changes are a fresh start.
Acting as though a name magically wipes the slate clean and somehow the short comings of days past will be forgotten is.... silly at best.

Well, people believe in silly things. Take this place (not the tribe board, but other forums on here) for example, there are some pretty "SILLY" things people believe in. Saying that, there are people out there that believe in curse of Chief Wahoo. So yes, it is a fresh start and it's not silly, not in the slightest.

Like I said, some people tend to believe in stupid shit.
I personally don't believe in curses, the team has the right to change the name if they so choose. I also personally don't care what the Cleveland baseball team is called. They aren't changing the name of the Browns, that's all I care about.

True. And playing in Cleveland, Ohio in a still pretty nice stadium for baseball. No changes until at least 2022, still time to get all of your Indians stuff.

GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
