The Cleveland Indians shocked their fans by announcing the historic team will be changing its name. Fans of the 105-year-old team have been loyal through times of heartache when losing seasons were all that were on the horizon.

That loyalty was crushed as fans took to social media to express their outrage. Some fans called the move a betrayal while others stated they will never attend games after a name change.

Shocked? Seriously? This move has been hinted/telegraphed/slowrolled over a period of at least three years.

If you are outraged, walk away, send the team a message that hits their pocketbook, channel your outrage into a useful action by protesting with your wallet

Loyalty, patriotism, etc. Major league sports teams don’t care about any of that. So just shut up, fans. And continue to buy their overpriced apparel and continue to watch their overpriced players.
Or you can just shun the whole lot of them.

When most people (except the UCSD) look for names for their sports teams, or anything else, they look for things they admire or are awed by: Titans, Bears, Buccaneers, Roughriders, etc. Were I Indian, I would be insulted that my identity is being stripped from a longtime wearer of that TITLE!
The “woke” are destroying the heritage and history of the entire western world, bit by bit, while we just stand wringing our hands.
We are as much to blame as the statue topplers.

I’m considering writing a bot that will watch for new posts from known blogpimps, and pull the entirety of the article out of the link and post it to FR.

“...others stated they will never attend games after a name change.”
Don’t think the team cares all that much what the ‘fans’ want or think. It’s the patrons of the luxury boxes that count. And they do play at ‘Progressive Field’.

The Indians had several pre-Indians names, including the Naps/Napoleons and the Bluebirds.
There was a deifferent franchise in Cleveland of note called the Cleveland Spiders.

Yes, and ironically they’re stripping away any importance of the other cultures, etc.
Did these idiots ever think of how we’ll only have white people on syrup bottles and rice boxes now? Isn’t anyone upset that suddenly no blacks or Indians are represented on teams or marketing?
