The Cleveland Indians said Friday it will consider changing its name amid civil unrest over systemic racism and police brutality.
“We are committed to making a positive impact in our community and embrace our responsibility to advance social justice and equality,” the team said in a statement Friday. “Our organization fully recognizes our team name is among the most visible ways in which we connect with the community.
“We have had ongoing discussions organizationally on these issues. The recent social unrest in our community and our country has only underscored the need for us to keep improving as an organization on issues of social justice,” it added. “With that in mind, we are committed to engaging our community and appropriate stakeholders to determine the best path forward with regard to our team name.”

Evil capitalists demanding payment on their confiscatory market activities...
New York Natives?
If the owner is going to cave to political correctness, rename the team the Cleveland Pussies.
Cleveland Harley Davidsons?
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.
An appropriate name would be the Cleveland Dumpster Fires.
Good point. Change that part instead. Call them The Mistake-on-the-Lake Indians.
bttt
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.
The tribe succumbs to the bribe.
Bite me chief wahoohoohoo..
All of India and most of the U.S.’s programmers will be distraught!
Texas Rangers - support law enforcement
New York Yankees - Demeans the intellectually disabled
Boston Red Sox - We’re not communist
How about the Cleveland Sockalexises? Look it up, you’ll understand.
I agree. The “Cleveland Indians“ name is demeaning. The “Vastly Overpaid and Spoiled Indians” will be much better.
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!
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.
