Cleveland chose their team name at a time when native children were being forced into boarding schools by the B.I.A to be assimilated into American society. They weren’t allowed to speak their own language, practice their faith or culture and were often separated from other children from their own tribes to…
Which tribe? What local tribes are around Cleveland that you can name without looking them up? How do they participate in this so-called celebration of their culture?
Bullshit.
How is a caricature of a stereotypical Native American a tribute to Indian tribes? Do you know any Indians with skin that color? See also:
It’s an offensive caricature of a Native American, complete with stereotypical red skin and oversized nose. See also:
Incorrect. They changed the logo and uniforms was LeBron was drafted. They changed just the uniforms when he left.
Somebody needs a safe space.
Now that you mention it, if there was ever a city that deserved to have Goatse as one of its sports logos, it’s sure Cleveland
“We’re trying!”
Or they can resurrect the Cleveland Infants. The logo could be a crying Indians fan whining about the loss of Chief Wahoo.
Grey, depressing, and on fire in places it shouldn’t be?
I propose that they be re-named the Cleveland Toreadors, in honor of Roger Dorn giving ground balls the “olé bullshit” in practice
no, the term “SJW” was invented as a weak retort by assholes in a pathetic attempt to defend the indefensible.
Nah, it was invented because people who either don’t understand or don’t give a crap about considering the concerns of marginalized people needed something to shout into the void.
“Hey, can you cover my bald spot with something incredibly embarrassing that can make me appear more racist?”

The logo is racist and anyone who thinks it should be kept around is racist. Get rid of the damn thing once and for all. And may this be the beginning of the end for EVERY sports team named after Indians, Native Americans, native people or whomever else.
How hard is this? just become the Cleveland Spiders. It’s an awesome. It’s historical. And you’ll have a unique, non-racist mascot and could design a sweet new logo.
And it sucks because it distracts from the group of players, who are quite good! It is just annoying to look at an ace like Corey Kluber on the mound and then see that racist ass logo on his hat staring back at you. It needs to go.
