Must be hard to curate the things you enjoy out of political correctness.Well i have stopped watching football, basketball and now i guess i will add baseball to the list.
I didn’t like it at first either but when I found out about the background behind the name it grew on me but I think their logo could be improved a bit.

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 People just don’t like the idea of a franchise profiting off a name that is considered offensive and outdated to the group of people who bear the name.What about the "Cuyas" or the "Hogs?"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?

I think a flaming baseball would look awesome!The new logo could be a baseball on fire.
You prefer Patriots?
Considering you went from a baseball team changing it's name to saying the county and state names should be changed, I think it fits.
Start a petition.Different sport, but the Minnesota Vikings need to change their name because it offends me due to my ancestry.

How about the Screwballs?But no one outside of Cleveland has any idea what that is all about and it's not very catchy, colorful, or baseball-related in any case.
Albion may have a point.I didn’t like it at first either but when I found out about the background behind the name it grew on me but I think their logo could be improved a bit.

Sounds like a mixed drink.I think a flaming baseball would look awesome!
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!Indian language place names are not at all comparable to Indian people as mascots.
I cant even believe I have to say this.
Sounds like a mixed drink.
And lighter fluidMade with river water.
So anyone attempting to be sensitive to ethic backgrounds are haters of everything traditional now?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.
