I’m so glad that the very worst problem facing professional sports teams in Cleveland has been solved.

PC Minority win again.

One sport at a time.

They are patient.

Fine.

I will call them the Cleveland “Carbons” then.

They could always add a nice hammer and star to that red sickle.

I’m a Sioux Indian and have several old friends who grew up on the reservation (I didn’t.) They told me once when this logo controversy first came up that when they were growing up on the rez, one of the kids had a Cleveland Indians baseball cap that they used to take turns wearing because they all thought it was so cool.

They didn’t know that they were supposed to be offended I guess.

Amazes me that all of this sensitivity toward the Native Americans comes after we almost exterminated the species.

Gee, that's fun.

I still miss the old Massachusetts Turnpike logo.

Look at the new PC version. The fun police are keeping busy.

What is the prison sentence for public displays like this?

Sports logos have become very bland.

Example

Past

Current

Odd that the Pirates did the same thing yesterday. From Bucs Dugout:

The Pirates will no longer use a cartoon Pirate as their primary logo, and will replace it with their familiar gold "P." The old Pirate will still be featured on the sleeves of uniforms, but most items available for sale will feature the P and not the picture of the Pirate.

I suspect some kind of league policy about using letter logos as the primary, since the Pirate image logo is presumably non-controversial. Any other teams make similar moves?

"C" stands for CORRECT!

Next up, I am an animal rights minority group and I am offended by Bears, Panthers, Rams, Lions, Cubs and Tigers. BAN THESE OFFENSIVE NAMES!!

Wrong Answer!!!

Give the leftists nothing, ever.

The leftists aren’t interested in eliminating racist symbols.

The leftists are interested solely in controlling YOU (yes, you, personally) in every asped of your lives, great and small.

I guess the upside to this is the bootleggers can infringe to their hearts content.

I guess this means they’re going to have to disappear all those copies of the movie “Major League” and “Major League II” in the same manner other PC offenders have been sent to the gulag. Examples would include “Song of the South,” “Hekyll and Jeckel,” and multiple WW2 vintage Warner Bros. and Disney cartoon.
