It’s easy to become an ex-fan?

The Browns, on the other hand, are in sync with the times...

Too many homeruns, not enough strategy (base hits,bunts, steals, etc). Pitchers only go a few innings before calling for a reliever, whereas they used to (and should) go 8 or 9 innings.

There can be little doubt that MLB "juiced" the baseballs to get more home runs. Allegedly, it would make the games more exciting. People that don't like baseball complained that it was boring and the games were too long. Actually, more homers slow down the games as the innings go longer and pitchers get changed. So the people MLB was catering to still don't like to watch it.

I used to be big MLB fan, but rules changes and their wokeness has driven me away.

That’s okay. As soon as all non-whites are removed from merchandise and advertising the same people will start suing these same companies for racial erasure.

Nothing honors a people like erasing any mention of them.

Actually the term “Redskins” comes from the North American Archaic tribe. They painted their faces red from the crushed okra plant when going to war and during funeral processions. The red had NOTHING to do with natural skin color.

They should change their name to the:
CLEVELAND CRUSADERS
That will make all of their politically-correct heads explode!

Why is that an insult to Indians? It’s like saying you believe they are strong and successful.

Siena College Changed their name from The Siena Indians to the Siena "saints. Aren't both names upsetting to some group?

Well if the Indians need something to be embarrassed about, I doubt it’s being the moniker for a Major League Baseball team.
They could be embarrassed by never developing a written language, never using the wheel, or only having that one song that they sing in all the movies:
“Hey how are you
Hey how are you
Hey how are you”.

Did the Redskins ever decide on a new name?

It was decided for them: Foreskins
