It stops at the team name. People just don’t like the idea of a franchise profiting off a name that is considered offensive and outdated to the group of people who bear the name.What about the "Cuyas" or the "Hogs?" Cleveland IS the seat for Cuyahoga county - an (ahem) INDIAN name with various roots - some think Seneca, others Mohawk, or Wyandot...
But then, that'd probably irritate even more of the testy woke and necessitate a name change for the county too, and the river after which it's named... and Erie county, and Huron county, and Mahoning county, and Miami county, and Muskingum county, and Ottawa county, and Sandusky county, and Tuscarawas county, and Wyandot county.
...and while we're at it - changing the name of the state - OHIO (Iroquois) should probably be considered as well.
Where does this nonsense stop?

Indian language place names are not at all comparable to Indian people as mascots.What about the "Cuyas" or the "Hogs?" Cleveland IS the seat for Cuyahoga county - an (ahem) INDIAN name with various roots - some think Seneca, others Mohawk, or Wyandot...

Start a petition.Different sport, but the Minnesota Vikings need to change their name because it offends me due to my ancestry.

Perhaps you do, considering that there are more than a few cases of forced name-changes where the old one was a tribal name and the tribe itself liked the recognition and wanted the name to be retained!
No matter. The usual haters of everything traditional had their way anyhow.

I feel you but the "Indians" of Cleveland have a native mascot wearing a feather. They could have kept the name but put their mascot in a turban. Then it would show who Indians actually are.Different sport, but the Minnesota Vikings need to change their name because it offends me due to my ancestry.
I think it's why the indigenous people in America would rather not be referred to as a nationality that they are not. Basically, it's an outdated derogatory word so why keep it around?
Vikings actually were Vikings so they take pride in the name (I do anyway) How can a Native American be proud to see they are still be called Indians.
