I'm pretty sure this is sarcasm. Please confirm!

I guess the owners of the storied Cleveland Browns franchise will be next to follow suit. Brown - while not explicitly a racist term, but a color - still could be judged by the PC crowd as targeting people of a certain skin color. Where does this madness end?

That's the point that troubles most sane people.... where will it ever end?? If "progressives" say tomorrow that the whole country was built on hate and they refuse to accept it, who will stop them from tearing it down and destroying literally everything. It's these sanctimonious individuals that are BY FAR the biggest threat to our society, not a ridiculous name or two.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion on this and any other topic of course, but please don’t make the mistake in thinking that by being a Cleveland supporter, or baseball fan, or knowing someone who is of Native American heritage makes your opinion count.

The owners of the team have consulted with their communities and what they have decided to do, counts. Not what you or I believe. We don’t get a vote.

My only complaint is that the cries after something is “cancelled” are as annoying as the cries to cancel it. Is it really a super duper offensive team name? Probably not. Is it really another step in the destruction and wussification of Western civilization, freedom, democracy, American ingenuity, and Apple pie? Yeah probably not either.

Are they playing baseball? Cool, I’m watching. Nothing changes.

The Team I root for, the SF Giants (no offense to people who suffer from Gigantism) have been virtue signaling to appease the woke crowd for some time now, they have all the bases covered when it comes to being "progressive".

Doesn't bother me, I just wish they would also cover the most important base and field a winning Team, which they seemed to have put on the bottom of the list of priorities.

Really? Is this a progressive issue? I would think it's more about human decency. I'm not your mascot.

Is this a reply to my comment?

Chuckle...
I suggest the #ClevelandIndians rename themselves the #Cleveland Virtue Signallers and their mascot can be a genderless human in a onesie

So Yankees should go based on your perspective.
