this is a good thing because the name was always stupid and associated with losing.

maybe they can come up w something original and some up to date colors.

next thing to go is the stupid cubs logo. so unimaginative. in use since the 69 season.

I vote to rename them the Cleveland Football Team

No. They never stop. No one can stop them.

I just hope they don't go with SPIDERS.

Cleveland Redskins has a certain ring to it.

it's going to be a rock and roll themed name.

They haven't used that logo in years and had been phasing it out since 2008, but for you to be only ten years behind would be an achievement.

2019, not 2008. only last year!

On January 29, 2018, the Cleveland Indians announced they will remove the Chief Wahoo logo from the team's on-the-field baseball caps and jerseys starting in the 2019 season.

Woke sensibilities still prevail in all the places where they matter: media, advertising, academia, entertainment.

i think it is going back the other way. it was in your face bec Trump was president and the MSM/Left used any means possible to discredit him. Woke being one of their major weapons because they really had nothing else.

Not much longer. They fucked it up, and it’s changing back. We’re still at the beginning of it but you’re gonna see it much more obviously by 2022-2024 to the point this exchange will look a little silly.

Okay. What's more likely: they decide "mission accomplished" or they go after the Atlanta Braves?

While I do agree with FF that there are far more people standing up to the woke then before I have to disagree that the tide is turning.

It’s a battle for sure.

Do not underestimate the young, naive, idealistic, and extremely sensitive generation who is way more online than any of us at CFMB.

They have serious numbers.

It’s so frustrating the way media bows down to them.

_________________

Oh they’re going after the Braves and Blackhawks no doubt. If they said mission accomplished they would win like you said. But they can’t take yes for an answer and that’s where the backlash is coming from and will continue to grow from. You’re making my point for me.

They are absolutely going to go back to being the Spiders. That logo is kind of bad ass for being from the 19th century.

The Braves, Chiefs and Blackhawks will all be fine. There is nothing offensive at all about their names regardless of what any shithead sjw says. I thought the blackhawks pretty much told those protesting their name to go fuck a pole.

I hope you’re right but I’ve seen zero real world examples that would suggest we’re trending in a less restrictive direction.

If anything, things are moving faster and faster the other way.

They should change. It’s a dumb, racist name and we have evolved, right? I’m serious.

The Indians weren't the Spiders. That was an unrelated team. They were the Blues and the Naps. Also the Forest Citys, I believe, though I've never thought of Cleveland as particularly verdant.



No they won't. The Braves got as much hell as the Indians and Redskins did, and the Indians going down will cause the wokes to start over against the Blackhawks. They won't rest until they get everything they want, and they always do.

Yep Blackhawks are a matter of time. Is it possible to sanitize everything though?

Politically correct people used to say "well, the name isn't offensive, but the grinning Indian logo sure is." So they got rid of the grinning Indian logo. I guess that was only meant to be a foot in the door. They gave their approval to the name but then they...well, they took it back.
