Makes sense. Not like they've been using any kind of Indian logo recently.

I didn't think they needed to do anything more than get rid of the Chief Wahoo logo, but if they think a full name change is necessary, then good for them. Let's hope they have a good idea in mind.

Good now we can get back to avoiding making the actual meaningful changes to society that would help people.

Thanks virtue signaling, you did it again! You saved the day by wasting everybody's time and helping nobody.

This is dumb, because they can change the name of a baseball team without it affecting other causes.

No one's going to say "Well, we gotta stop fighting for equality the Cleveland Indians changed their name"

Why do people always act like its either or

I too think no one should do anything about anything in this world until we first eradicate poverty and achieve world peace.

This is what's called a strawman; you've invented a stance nobody holds so that you can sarcastically mock it

It's what we do in society, dumb virtue signal changes and distract from actual meaningful change.

It's like apple using Chinese labor while signaling how woke they are.

Shit like this is dumb and everybody with sense knows it.

Was the Cleveland Indians upper managment at the forefront of systematic social changes in the first place? I don't know why they make these bad arguments. If anyone should only care about the most important things, then baseball teams should be able to change their name without anyone complaining. There are starving children in Africa after all.

What problem are the Cleveland Indians part of that they are distracting from by changing the name?

Blackhawks are not offensive.
The team is named after a regiment that the first owner served in.

And even today, most aboriginals love the logo and buy blackhawks apparel.

Would be a cool name but I don't think they will go with it because the 1899 Cleveland Spiders were infamously the worst team in MLB history.

Also Cleveland Tribe is a terrible idea because eventually people are going to say it is an offensive name.
