as an actual indian, when are americans going to stop calling these people indians? the cleveland indians is the equivalent of having a mascot of a guy in a sombrero for a team called “the chinese.”

My favorite part is that taking down the teepee to sell more seats is “understandable” whereas being not being racist is just being overly sensitive.

"It’s time to bring back some of the things we grew up with that made the team special."
