Cleveland Indians Forum

Sorry, that is not evolution when you are forced to make a change just because someone thinks you are offensive to others, but it's not offensive to them. We already know they don't find it offensive, so there is no problem.

This is how you erase the past and other cultures. Look up Germany in the 40s. It's how they started and we know what that leads to. Attack everything that is not white, paint it white, or kill it off. No other colors are allowed. It is also a great way to control people. By telling them what to think and say.

2+2=5  < do you know what that comes from and what it means? If not you're doomed.   

What will you do when they come for you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_...#Text 

You have a great day RJ Smith. Me and you do not agree on anthing. I'm done here.

It always comes back to the nazis.  I wonder who they compared the imagined boogeyman too before 1900?

Great idea to name the team after Noel Coward. Not one of Cleveland better known sons, but...

I realize this is an older thread and I only hopped into it wondering if the values of Indians' cards were going up. But now that I'm here......

Someone mentioned that the KC Chiefs is safe because it is not an Indian reference. I sure hope you're correct, but the woke mob is not driven by facts. There was (maybe still is) a movement to change the Star Spangled Banner because it mentions slavery. Nobody took the time to research and find that the so-called slaves were American sailors being enslaved by the British navy.

Next: Atlanta Braves?, Chicago Blackhawks? Golden State Warriors? (Marquette has already canceled the Warriors name), How about the 28 states whose name is Indian-related? Are you ready for the Southeast Crimson Tide?

Deep South is bound to crop ip at some point: Ole Miss Rebels, Tennessee Volunteers, Charleston Battery, etc. Are you aware that ESPN yanked the announcer for a CFB game in the state of Virginia because his name was Bob (Robert) Lee? You can't make this stuff up.

We get the same here in Australia but with cheese (unsure if world wide) as they removed the word coon which is derogatory word towards indigenous Australians only problem is this was the last name of the guy who invented this type of cheese.

also last week my work will be calling these large troll statues just sculptures as they believe the word troll may upset people

The business world (US) is starting to ban/block the use of the term....

Only a matter of time......

Personally, starting with the case of the Washington Redskins...
If I was the owner, I would have folded the team...

Put all the records etc into safe keeping and start all stats from zero....

The George Washington University is dropping "Colonials" and changing the nickname and mascot.
