But what’s offensive about Indians?

And, why is Indians offensive but not Fighting Irish or Celtics?

Or is Celtics racist because it implies white basketball players are superior?

Hi All.

IT DOESN’T MATTER !

It doesn’t matter what the league or team owners want to call it, I will ALWAYS, for the rest of my earthly days call the Cleveland baseball team the INDIANS and I suggest that those here who are Indians fans NEVER use any of the fake monikers foisted upon the Tribe.

When the season is going again call the team offices and tell them you want seasons tickets to watch the Indians. When they tell you they’re some other name that’s the time to say “Never-mind”

Call the local Mockingbird Media outlets and ask if the Indians won today. Don’t buy any merch with any name on it other than Chief Wahoo and Indians on it. Get clip art and make your own merch.

WRITE letters and send them by smail-mail. E-mails just go in the bit-bucket, phone calls might get logged but to really get noticed a letter to Lawrence J. Dolan - Owner or
Paul J. Dolan - Chairman/Chief Executive Officer. By doing so it has to be handled, opened and read by an executive secretary because that letter could be of importance. When the mail comes in by bags and buckets it does get attention.

I have not watched an Indians game in years, but...

I’ve listened to every game for years on the radio. You can’t beat Hammy’s calls and a radio generates no ratings - the best of both worlds.

It’s long past time for “America’s past time” to pass on.

I agree. The Indians have gotten too much attention over the years.

How about the Cleveland Pakistanis?

After all, we already have the Cincinnati Bengals!

The closest I came to watching any sporting event since this insanity of 2020 was a 2 minute clip of POTUS Trump at the Army Navy game. I was a HUGE sports fan and now don’t give it a second thought and my life is better off without the BS.

Well, Chief Wahoo will get the last laugh because the MLB and all the other woke sports will go broke within a couple few years. Nothing survives a 50-70% loss of revenue.

I used to be a sports fan...now I wonder what I was ever cheering about ....

Dear CBS, et al: The term you are looking for is “team name,” not nickname. In this case, the team name is Indians. A nickname would be “The Tribe.”

How inept must you be to keep making this same basic mistake over and over?

And to the owners of the Indians, the ‘C’ logo is offensive to cancer survivors and cookie addicts. Please demonstrate sensitivity to these marginalized communities.

Baseball jumps full on the PC bandwagon.

Like I said before, all 4 of the major US sports are done.

Watch your Blackhawks become the “Cows” or such. South Park is reality...again.

Another business keeping the assets and getting rid of the Indians...

Not being a sports fan, I’ll assumed he’s one of the players.

I’d be honored if they named the team the “Cleveland Kehoes.”

Get woke be a dope.

Why is “Cleveland Indians” a NICK-name? It’s a name.

I have several other suggestions, all of which would likely get me banned....
