Finally, the American Natives will be able to get some sleep at night.

They were literally staying up all night, tossing and turning, worried about this sports name.

Just imagine how you would feel if there was a baseball team on the Indian reservation called “the Honkeys.”

It would ruin your life.

New York Times:

After years of protests from fans and Native American groups, the Cleveland Indians have decided to change their team name, moving away from a moniker that has long been criticized as racist, three people familiar with the decision said Sunday.

The move follows a decision by the Washington Football Team of the N.F.L. in July to stop using a name long considered a racial slur, and is part of a larger national conversation about race that magnified this year amid protests of systemic racism and police violence.

Cleveland could announce its plans as soon as this week, according to the three people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

It is not immediately clear what Cleveland’s exact steps will be beyond dropping the Indians name. The transition to a new name involves many logistical considerations, including work with uniform manufacturers and companies that produce other team equipment and stadium signage.

One of the people said Cleveland planned to keep the Indians name and uniforms for the 2021 season while working to shift as early as 2022.

Cleveland spent much of the year before the 2019 season phasing out the logos and imagery of the cartoon mascot Chief Wahoo.

Kinda sad about Chief Wahoo.

But frankly, he was already replaced with Slider, a purple monster.

He’s still in prison for scalping Mr. Red.

I think Mr. Red had it coming, but “had it coming” doesn’t work in Baseball Court, unfortunately.

One option that the team is considering, two of the people said, is moving forward without a replacement name — similar to how the Washington Football Team proceeded — then coming up with a new name in consultation with the public.

The Cleveland baseball franchise has been known as the Indians since 1915, but Native American groups and others have for decades opposed the use of Indigenous names, mascots and imagery for sports teams, insisting they are demeaning and racist. Cleveland’s name and Washington’s old name were considered among the most high-profile examples and were the targets of widespread campaigns for change.

The Cleveland team did not immediately comment.

Haha – “The Cleveland team.”

They should just call themselves “The Baseball Team Formerly Known as the Indians.”

I will tell you this: as someone born and raised in Ohio, I’ve never watched a baseball game, but I’ve owned quite a few Cleveland Indians baseball caps.

And frankly, the squared “C” looks best on the hat.

I don’t wear baseball caps, as a rule, because it’s ridiculous. But when I do, I go for that dark red on dark blue. I like the red bill, though I typically go with the solid blue hat.

A couple years ago, I had one of the spring training caps, which I liked, even though it was a bit flamboyant (it was also fitted, which is always annoying – it’s virtually impossible to get the right size, and then if you do, you sweat and it shrinks).

What we need to do is make sure that we don’t end up with that other C.

That is literally the worst C ever.

I think they thought it looked like a raptor claw.

Another symbol of White supremacy is taken down!

The Goyim must learn to accept and even embrace other cultures, and forget all about their traditional European art and symbols. This is the only way to move forward into a new age of tolerance.

But this doesn’t mean the stupid goyim should adopt any element of these foreign cultures! That would be cultural appropriation, and obviously racist.

The only way for a White man to be progressive is to abandon all art and culture – except Hollywood and Netflix.

New York Times:

The Cleveland Indians will stop using the Chief Wahoo logo on their uniforms beginning in 2019, according to Major League Baseball, which said the popular symbol was no longer appropriate for use on the field.

This mockery of a genocide is definitely not appropriate in 2018.

The logo has long been the source of anguish and frustration for those who consider it offensive, outdated and racist, but for many of the team’s fans it is a cherished insignia — a divide that has played out at all levels of sports in recent years with teams featuring such nicknames and insignias. Most universities have stopped using Native American nicknames, while other teams like the Washington Redskins in the N.F.L., for example, have resisted growing pressure to do so.

The Washington Redskins don’t care about your feelings.

Chief Wahoo, a cartoonish caricature of a Native American that has assumed several forms over the years, first appeared on the Indians’ uniforms in 1948. In recent decades various groups across North America have appealed to the team to renounce the logo, to no avail. But over the past year the commissioner of baseball, Rob Manfred, has pressured Paul Dolan, Cleveland’s chairman and chief executive, to make a change.

Rob Manfred: Never trust a man with a tooth gap.

Citing a goal of diversity and inclusion, Manfred said in a statement provided to The New York Times that the Indians organization “ultimately agreed with my position that the logo is no longer appropriate for on-field use in Major League Baseball, and I appreciate Mr. Dolan’s acknowledgment that removing it from the on-field uniform by the start of the 2019 season is the right course.”

All professional sports seem to be spiraling into a SJW-induced suicide, alienating their core audience with no regards for their bottom line.

Do these retards actually believe that the type of people who’d complain about “cultural appropriation” and “insensitivity” actually watched a game of baseball in their life?

Obviously not.

They’re pissing off their own fans, just so the owners and managers can get virtue signaling points when they meet their rich liberal friends.

Soon, TV sports will be entirely replaced with “Cops”-style livestreams of ICE agents deporting illegals. The ratings will be record-breaking. Okay, maybe that won’t happen – but I’m just throwing the idea out there.

Can you imagine? The show starts with the ICE agents eating at a Mexican restaurant, making chad banter. When the bill arrives, they get up and start arresting everyone, load them up into the van and drive away. Credits roll.

I’d watch that.
