Buffalo Bills...

Evil capitalists demanding payment on their confiscatory market activities...

[mrsmith]

New York Natives?

If the owner is going to cave to political correctness, rename the team the Cleveland Pussies.

[allblues]

Cleveland Harley Davidsons?

[Repeal 16-17]

First the Redskins, now the Indians. Apparently, the best way to recognize the Native-Americans/Indians is to act like they don’t exist. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Liberal Logic.

[Alberta's Child]

An appropriate name would be the Cleveland Dumpster Fires.

[SamuraiScot]

The name “Cleveland” has too many negative connotations.

Good point. Change that part instead. Call them The Mistake-on-the-Lake Indians.

Just shut it down. See what happens.

Cleveland Steamers

Tonight, Tucker Carlson was doing re-runs, and since there’s nothing older than yesterday’s news, I tuned in to MSNBC, which featured a “woke” spokeswoman who decried “racist” team names such as Indians, Warriors, Chiefs, etx.

I agree that we should wipe out any vestige of anything related to Indians. They should never be thought of or remembered in any shape, matter or form.

[Track9]

The tribe succumbs to the bribe.

[mylife]

Bite me chief wahoohoohoo..

[SuperLuminal]

All of India and most of the U.S.’s programmers will be distraught!

[Fai Mao]

Texas Rangers - support law enforcement
New York Yankees - Demeans the intellectually disabled
Boston Red Sox - We’re not communist

[Ratman0823]

How about the Cleveland Sockalexises? Look it up, you’ll understand.

[faithhopecharity]

I agree. The “Cleveland Indians“ name is demeaning. The “Vastly Overpaid and Spoiled Indians” will be much better.

[SoCal Pubbie]

San Diego Padres- islamophobic

Los Angeles Angels- anti atheist

New York/ SF Giants- insensitive to little people

Phoenix Coyotes- hateful to cat owners

Los Angeles Chargers- capitalist running dogs exploiting the masses by promoting unsustainable credit card debt

Green Bay Packers- anti vegan

New York Yankees- ¡Cuba sí! ¡Yanquis no!

Sportsball is dead to me. Understand, I've done sports photography for twenty years, and ten years ago I quit watching the NFL. It wasn't any protest or anything, it was that the games were reaching four hours and had eleven minutes of action. Commercial breaks got so long I'd forget which game was on and which quarter they were in.

Then, I had to start interviewing players. Won't get into it. Now, I only watch a game if I'm covering it. If they expect me to start doing woke stuff I'll just go back to covering high school ball, and no, it doesn't pay as well.
