Call them the Cleveland Rockers to tie into the R&R HOF. It's appropriate because Cleveland is the Marty Jannetty of cities.

Was this thread really needed when the subject was already posted in the MLB thread? I can't speak for the entire staff as we haven't discussed this much to my knowledge, but I would say that a story like this is fine. I'd say when a big story like this happens, a separate thread allows those who don't frequent the news and notes threads to see and discuss.

They should go back to being the Cleveland Spiders. That's a badass name and you could have a spider dude with 8 gloves as a mascot. Cleveland Mizfits.

Rename them the Cleveland Lebrons. At least it associates them with winning.

MLB says they may release a contemporary version of the Chief Wahoo logo in the future, but for now are sticking with the Block C. I'm actually gonna get an Indians tee with Chief on it as protest. Also they have no desire to change the name from the Indians.

Did you read the link I posted in the other thread?

Did you read the link I posted in the other thread? Because I like the logo. In my opinion its not racist. There's nothing wrong if me a fan of the team wears it. I can understand MLB's decision, doesn't mean I have to agree.

Why aren't you taking the feelings of actual Native Americans into consideration?

It literally has nothing to do with "your opinion". This is not an "opinion" issue. You absolutely don't have to agree, but "buying a racist shirt in protest of it being taken away" is NOT a good look for you.

They will still sell merch with it at Indians games, it just won't be sold on the MLB Shop, so its not like it will be gone forever.

It's not disliked by all. Besides I don't understand how its a caricature. How does it offend? Its just a smiling face with a feather. I honestly do not understand this.

Call them the Cleveland Rockers to tie into the R&R HOF. Yes, nothing is further from racism in the MLB than the name Rocker.
