The Cleveland Cluckers. The mascot could be a giant chicken.

Good.

We shouldn’t name sports teams after losers. Name them the Cleveland Conquistadors.

India. Our Native Americans aren’t from India.

I know a fair number of people who are descended from those indigenous to North America. About half the time they call themselves "Indian" and about half "Native".

And it is not a big deal.

AOCortez is going to have to call appropriation on that

Fun with these idiot name proposals. Schmidt is a NYT smear/hit artist so watch out for what he writes.

Cleveland “Dobys” - Really should be the “Cleveland Doobies” and it ain’t the brothers.

Cleveland Crows - how about naming it after the singing groups, as the “Cleveland Counting Crows”, “Cleveland Black Crows” (oops, too racist), “Cleveland Dead Crows”

And I would love to have the “Cleveland Rockers” named after the truth-telling pitcher “John Rocker”, a blessed memory of honesty re his reading of society on a subway.

Or we could combine the “Rockers” and the “Crows” to make the “Cleveland Crockers”, the “Cleveland Crackpots”, or the “Cleveland Cockers”. Any one would be a good name.

I think that the Cleveland Indians is an honorable name. As the Beatles would sing, “Let It Be”.

#66. That should be the “Cleveland Wuhan Wombats”, if you please.

Sounds better than the “Cleveland Pangolins”.

I realize there are any number of angry white liberals who feel entitled to get mad on behalf of Native Americans, but has anyone actually polled Native Americans to see if they might like to see the "Indians" name stay?

The people screaming loudest about racism today are invariable white. White liberals. The minorities really don't seem that interested.

I’m offended by the term “Yankees.”


Minnesota Twins is problematic, too.
