Very good!

[John Taylor]

For fucks sake I'm a quarter Salish Indian and my family call each other Indians, and literally nobody I know who lives on the Rez have any issue with the Cleveland Indians name.

 

[Redondo]

I wouldn't think the Indians is a slur in any way.

But PC pressure is strong. 

[JAHV76]

Are the Braves next?

It's not, in fact if you were to walk up to my grandparents and call them Native Americans they would give you crap and tell you to call them either Indians or members of the First Nations, and tell you how this whole thing was brought about by white social justice warriors.

Notre Dame is laughing.

This makes no sense.  Unless it’s an excuse to use as rebranding and merchandise sales.

Dammit I got on here too late.

I think what really pisses me off is that changing the name of a sports team because a bunch of SJW's find it offensive does nothing to actually help people who live on the Reservation, it would have been more helpful for them to put resources towards helping find a high number of missing Indigenous women, or education, or poverty, but instead we get the "Cleveland Baseball Team"

I for one am glad the organization decided to stop honoring them.

SJW's are parasites.

Cant wait for the censored version of Major League and Major League 2

 

[Justin]

Any chance they change the name but also bring back Chief Wahoo?

[Lou]

They should change their name to the Redskins.

Not gonna lie -- I think rebranding as the Cleveland Spiders would be cool...

I met a chick in Luxembourg who went to the University of Richmond.

Think about it.

Was she a SJW or a Redskins fan?   Trying to work out how it went for you based on your answer...

Dumb... when does this shit end?
