How about the Cleveland Midges? Or is that too close to Midgets?

Cleveland Gnats?

Cleveland Cadavers?

Cleveland Crooks?

Cleveland Capos?

Cleveland Cicadas?

Cleveland Cyclones?

We went through this with the Redskins. Repeated polls of Native Americans consistently showed that they liked the name. Didn’t want it changed. The oh so #woke Washington Post would then whitesplain to the dumb Native Americans why they were too offended. That was offensive.

[Gay State Conservative]

I’m done with professional sports.I don’t have a problem with my clergyman preaching fire and brimstone...but I won’t be lectured by those making millions to throw,catch or bounce a ball.

[beethovenfan]

“Cleveland Indigenous People” is kinda clunky.

[Mark17]

I figure soon, we will have the Atlanta baseball team, and the Chicago hockey team. F the PC monkeys.

[chajin]

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Cleveland Geldings

And in other news the Los Angeles Dodgers are being urged to drop their moniker. Originating at a time when the team’s fans were mocked for “dodging” the Brooklyn trolley cars in the area around its stadium, it is an insensitive reminder of the difficulties of its poor, urban fans in that era. To continue to use this offensive term disregards the plight of oppressed working class whites and suggests that the systemic exploitation of their labor can be frivolously dismissed in order to promote the billion dollar industry that is Major League Baseball.

[Deplorable American1776]

The Indians were named because of a player on the team, who was the first NATIVE AMERICAN MLB player, Louis Sockalexis. Now these morons (Caucasian Social Justice Idiots) need to learn history.

What next? The Chicago Black Hawks?

[Zhang Fei]

Maybe they’ll change their name to the Cleveland Knickers, with a frilly undergarment as their mascot.

[Jyotishi]

I guess they don’t want to move to India.

[Osage Orange]

I kinda liked the "Mighty Whitie's"...back in day..

And I'm part Native...and most people Native that I know...could careless...about team names.

Erasing our history is one of the objectives here. When you have no history, no tradition, no holidays, no sports mascots, no flags, no church, and the nuclear family is dissolved, there is nothing left but the collective state.

The Cleveland Pakistanis

Why should the Indians get all the attention?

[T.B. Yoits]

Name them after the city of Cleveland; "The Mistake By The Lake".

"Ladies and gentlemen, now batting for the Cleveland Mistakes..."

[Dilbert San Diego]

There are other offensive names in sports.

If Indian nicknames are offensive , then......

Pittsburgh Steelers offends real steel workers
Dallas Cowboys offends real cowboys

LA Angels, San Diego Padres, New Orleans Saints are offensive to the Catholic church.

Milwaukee Brewers offends real brewmasters

Green Bay Packers offends real meat packers,

All the animal nicknames offend PETA types.

Etc etc
