Politics aside, Spiders and Rocks are both way better than Indians as names for a team from Cleveland.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
Better pick up Major League on DVD before it is wiped out of cinema history.

Always surprised me that there's more upset over a name change than teams moving cities.

Next up, the Braves, Chiefs, Warriors Seminoles......

I think we just got too used to Indians being a normal nickname whereas if you place other races into nicknames as shown below, I can see how they could all be offensive.

Odd, I don't find any of those offensive because they're nothing but caricatures. But I guess we now let mentally soft people run the world. That's why you never hear any whining about the mascot of Notre Dame. And I don't care if they change the Indians name and logo, it doesn't matter to me what they're called. “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato

Why, they were very bad people and we should not be glorifying them! “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
I find the Jaguars to be quite offensive these days. Maybe a name change is in store .... couldn't hurt.

I'm curious as to how large the domino effect will be from this. I wasn't kidding about Indian Motorcycles. Now that two major sports teams have relented, there's definitely going to be a larger effort. Mainly by white liberals who feel an obligation to be offended for other people.
Over the years I've read several articles concerning the Indians name and it's a mixed bag. It seems there are as many, if not more, actual Indians who are indifferent of the name than those who are offended. Do the FSU outreach tact. Offer scholarships, creative input and other benefits to Native American groups for approval to use the name. Either that or shoulder the expense of rebranding. That's what it's coming down to.

Especially from someone who's board name mocks the deaths of millions of people and the widespread destruction of homes around the world by adopting the name of the phenomenon which causes it. Absolutely soulless. (12-14-2020, 09:37 AM)mikesez Wrote:(12-14-2020, 08:54 AM)homebiscuit Wrote: We're looking at you Celtics and Vikings. Is there a tipping point percentage we should observe? If only 5% of those with that ancestry are offended but the rest are indifferent or proud of the name, do we change it? |
