Should have just changed it to the "NOT Indians", and then keep the logo, but put the Ghostbusters style red circle with a line through it over it.

Or better yet, just call em the Cleveland Ghostbusters
That would be the most popular and beloved team ever.

Yes. The mascot could have a proton pack that shot tshirts into the crowd!

I’m surprised liberals are letting the sports teams keep their uniforms! Isn’t that non-inclusive or some shit because everyone has different uniforms?

Great choice. Probably not intentional, but I like how it evokes the Guardian newspaper in the UK, which has a long tradition of truth and credibility while being socially conscious.

I wouldn't call the Cleveland organization, sellouts.
BUT
If they didn't "sellout", the Communists would destroy them.
It's not a bluff.

Very true. I can’t bear to watch sports ever since they let politics into the game. You don’t want to stand for the National Anthem? Don’t play. You make millions of dollars a year….You’re not oppressed. You don’t like a team’s name? Fuck you! It didn’t bother you before, so mind your own business. To bring “Black Lives Matter” into sports is completely offensive. Shouldn’t be there.

Baloney. Native Americans should be treated with respect and dignity. It is pleasing that the sports industry is doing so.

NOBODY was disrespectful to American Indians! It WAS a SPORTS TEAM’S NAME! Why stop there? Why not just erase all of our history and retract all of sports in America? This way we can be the pansy country that’s afraid of its own shadow. That’s what the liberals want isn’t it?
