Stick to analyzing baseball, because your understanding of history is lacking.

ugh, this thread.
this is why i stay out of the political forum. all it does is make me like people less.
lock and burn this p.o.s. thread.

Were Indians in this country oppressed? Sure. Almost every people group was at some point in history. The one common denominator is virtually no one from those oppressed people groups is currently living and no one living even knows anyone personally in those groups who were oppressed.
Probably every team name would have some group that is offended by it especially if they can feel powerful by forcing it to be changed. Angels offend atheists and other religions. Padres are stereotypes. If this goes on much farther, animal rights groups are gonna have a field day with the Cubs, Dbacks, and Rays. Sound stupid? So is this.
The problem with empathy is not in the thing itself but in who is actually fighting for it. SJW's are just trying to get power and money - stirring up popular resentment among the dumbasses of society is how they get both.
Personally, as a name, I don't really give a crap whether they keep the name or change it. I have zero investment either way in the name as such. But I detest cancel culture and the owners being coerced into it. It's a cancer and those who practice it - regardless of political ideology or party - are freedom-hating fascists.

People hunt bears. 
F'n Chicago.

I actually am glad they're doing this and hope the Braves are next. Not all SJW issues are alike. A lot of Americans don't know the actual history of this country and its colonialism. Entire cultures were wiped out, millions killed. It makes sense to remove mascots and images that represent a people whose land was taken and culture destroyed.
Of course the US should do more to improve the lives of people who live in reservations, but I'm not sure what that has to do with Cleveland changing their name. It isn't like they are choosing to do this rather than send money to the rez.

They should change their name to the Redskins.

I suspect this is probably why he was never a candidate here.  He would never have had the control he wanted.

Lets go Trash Pandas. 

Why call it Low-A instead of just A ball?

I’m all in on signing Bauer and trading for Blake Snell. Get it done Perry.  😜

What does Andrelton Simmons have to do with this?

Trade for Harper and make the Phillies eat half his salary.

FYI, that’s two dickish comments in a row. Maybe smoke a j and relax. 

Who really give a flying *uck about RF. Put Fletcher out there.  Marsh is good enough and maybe better than you might think.  STARTING PITCHING. Focus Angels on SP. RFer don't win pennants. SPing  does. I wonder who has more trade value, Adell or Marsh? I like Marsh. I would trade both of them for SPing.     

You guys are doing it again

I know they wouldn’t I don’t think they would I was just making a funny. 

Trade for Harper and make the Phillies eat half his salary.

Why would they do that?

Because we need someone to play RF.
