I don't care what you call the teams. That means nothing to me. Baseball is a boring sport to watch and Cleveland really doesn't have anything going for it either. That is why I am happy to oblige your mandate from page 1.

The point is there is a contingence of highly offended people in our country that is becoming powerful enough to take things that we value away simply because they don’t like it. Think of anything you hold of sentimental value as an American. Doesn’t matter what it is. Now imagine someone crying about it then taking it away. Baseball. Football. Your house. |

As a Washington Redskin fan since the 70’s it’s scary to see what the PC culture is doing to our country. Many polls of Native Americans have shown they viewed the team name with a sense of pride. However as someone earlier stated, whiny white men were offended enough for them to put pressure on sponsors of the team. Scary to think what will have to go in the coming year to satisfy the PC elite.

Let's not forget the statues being pulled down of past presidents and war heroes and classic books being deleted from schools for being offensive..
I watch reruns on YouTube of the "Dean Marin Roast", "All in the Family", and "The Jeffersons" from the 70's. All races/religions/etc. used to make fun of each others stereotypes and we'd all laugh at each other and ourselves. Now everyone has been brainwashed and are wound up so tight you can't even say a nice comment without offending someone. It's sad....

No, it isn't me, but I remember when that happened. What the news fails to show, and what they have kept in the back corner, is that the man who's been at the forefront of protesting the Indians name and Chief Wahoo - Robert Roche (in the blue jacket in the picture in this article) - was convicted of embezzlement. I have absolutely no problem with what anyone did to him, calling him every name in the book. He frankly deserved it, and should be beyond embarrassed for using his heritage as a crutch to garner the spotlight when he was a criminal. Disgusting. As with everything these days, the MSM wants you to see and believe only what THEY want you to see and believe. https://www.cleveland.com/court-just..._proteste.html |

America has lost it's sense of humor too. Half the crap I say on this forum I get the "WTF" kind of responses from people because they don't have a sense of humor. There's a great line in the Cannonball Run movie, where Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr are pretending to be priests to get out of getting a ticket as they try to win the Cannonball Run, and Dino calls Sammy the Chocolate Monk...... I mean, today they'd have hung Martin out in effigy for that. Back then even Sammy himself was cool with it. It's like, chill out people. Life's too short to live it with a stick up your back side all the time. |

I wonder about the life span of the "Reds" (be they Indians or Russian communists), and the Braves.
There is a legal opinion on this. I knew of it because son Little Ricky was invited to a legal fund raiser sponsored by the music group's legal team. Considering the following decision by the US Supreme Court it would seem that the various owners of the teams mentioned have a right to the use of their trademark names but they instead choose to defer to the courts of public opinion. Members of the Asian-American rock band The Slants have the right to call themselves by a disparaging name, the Supreme Court says, in a ruling that could have broad impact on how the First Amendment is applied in other trademark cases. The Slants' frontman, Simon Tam, filed a lawsuit after the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office kept the band from registering its name and rejected its appeal, citing the Lanham Act, which prohibits any trademark that could "disparage ... or bring ... into contemp[t] or disrepute" any "persons, living or dead," as the court states. After a federal court agreed with Tam and his band, the Patent and Trademark Office sued to avoid being compelled to register its name as a trademark. On Monday, the Supreme Court sided with The Slants. |

I just saw the other day that a contingent of politicians from Georgia came out in support of keeping the Braves name and logo, declaring they are an American institution. What the hell? We get the shaft in Cleveland and they all come out in full support in Atlanta! |

The law was on the Indian's side as it is for the Braves but you must consider that in Georgia there remains the inbred Southern Rebel. Who, by the way, did lose their symbolic Rebel flag recently. |
