Just change the mascot slightly. Have him wear a dot, instead of a feather. Then you can keep the name. Could lead to a lucrative sponsorship from 7-11.

I am hoping they don’t do This to the Chiefs next. I get that native Americans are not Indians, but Chiefs are.....really sad times.

Next are Chiefs and Braves

What about the Vikings? Are they going to change that name because of all us of Norse heritage?

Fighting Irish? What about them?

Professional teams should be named after kitchen appliances.
Who can find the name Cleveland Toasters offensive?

The Celtics? I am offended because I play fiddle in a Celtic band, and they can't pronounce the word correctly.

Need to cancel the Fighting Irish too. Not all of the Irish are mad....

This is so fucking stupid.

Atlanta Braves, FSU Seminoles will be next eventually.

Maybe all the animal mascots need to go also. They may be offended.

Assholes. Even Terry Francona is for it. And a lot of the players. He’ll, they don’t care, they seem politically correct and still get the big bucks. At least for now. Fuck em.

Well, the Braves had to ditch Chief Noc-A-Homa ages ago. They lost the smiling Brave in the logo back in the 80s. I guess the name is all that's left to "correct."

I think FSU is safe. The Seminoles' tribal council has approved the use of the Seminole mascot by FSU.

IF a they are going to cave and change their name, They should resurrect an old timey Cleveland name the Spiders. Check Young pitched for the spiders for a few years. Only around for a decade or so, they had half a dozen future hall of famers come through their team

I thought the Cubs waiting 108 years for another WS win was a record never to be broken.

The Indians will never win another WS.

How about "Cougars".

A Mascot name that might offend many 40-50 year old Divorced females.

Not sure what the native americans want is of importance in the cancel culture actions, it's mostly wealthy and middle class white folks that are offended for them....

Doesn’t mean a thing. It’s what the PC cancel culture want. FSU and the Braves will end up changing. It’s already being discussed in Atlanta. One possible name is the Atlanta Hammers.

One possible name is the Atlanta Hammers.

That is offensive to all Nails.

That is what is causing the actions, the problem is that those of us who are not offended, don't speak up in mass, so its become an effective technique, bitch, point fingers, label the organization, press prints it, nobody complains except to each other, therefore the idea that its totally offensive becomes the truth, and the change goes through.

We've accepted cancel culture as the harbinger of truth that stands for everyone, since nobody ever stands against them...

You're kidding right? I've been an Indians fan for over 50 years. I have tons of Chief Wahoo gear as well as regular Indians jerseys and hats. Sat in the stands at what is now Progressive Field for many years, and have followed the Indians to other team venues around the country as I traveled for work. Lawrence Dolan, the owner of the Indians, is a monumental POS like no other. When he killed Chief Wahoo, Indians fans revolted and it cost the team huge revenues and backlash from fans. Killing off the Indians name all together will cripple the team's revenue stream, and Dolan is about to reap a shit storm from fans he's too stupid to even grasp. As a MLB fan for over 50 years I can say without hesitation, Lawrence Dolan is the worst team owner in MLB history. How this man managed to get wealthy is a mystery to me, but he knows nothing about MLB and even less about the folks (like me) who have stuck with the Indians forever...but no more after this announcement.

Mr. Dolan, may you burn in hell for all eternity for what you've done to Cleveland Indian baseball.

I vote for the “Cleveland Pussies” with a pink cat shitting a rainbow as their new symbol.

All this political correctness leads me to the State of Oklahoma, aka’s = “Land of the Red Man.”
The Sooners = land grabbers, cheaters
Kansas = aka’s Jayhawks, Red Legs, Border Ruffians, Bleeding Kansas.
K.C. Chiefs
Chicago Blackhawks etc., etc. it will never end until someone yells, shut up!
