Sources: Cleveland to drop Indians nickname after 105 years

The Redskins were the first. Now the pressure will now build for the Braves to change their name. And Kansas City Chiefs. Then eventually down to the colleges. Then high schools.

Eventually, would it -- could it --hit the Gaffney Indians?

Just wait until they learn that 20 of our 50 states are named after Indian tribes or an Indian translation of a geographical boundary such as a mountain or a river.

the chiefs could mean fire chiefs, or just some name like sport you give someone to make them feel awkward. Sorry, that one stays.

I am waiting until Fire and Police Departments are coerced to change those job titles too. Pretty soon even auto parts will be forced to change names (brakes have master and slave cylinders - how racist!)

We have become so sensitive in this country. Hurts to touch it. <img border=">

These titles will also need to be changed:

Chief Executive Officer
Chief Financial Officer
Chief Operating Officer
Chief Information Officer
Chief Technology Officer
Chief Marketing Officer
Chief Accounting Officer
Chief of Staff
Chief Master Sergeant
Chief Warrant Officer
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court

And we need to eliminate the term "C Suite".

FSU was very smart in their approach...


Dec 14, 2020, 8:46 AM

They wrote a big check to the Seminole Indians. In exchange, the Tribe effectively told everyone to back-off FSU and leave the name alone.

They'll play the games they think that have a legitimate chance to win.

Chiefs won't do it. The Braves won't do it either. That Blackhawks won't do it either. The Indians did it, because some Indians don't like being called Indians. I think they should have kept the name though. Redskins was obviously a racist term, but just became a tradition.

It was derogatory when it was initially introduced in what the 1800's or whenever. Kind of like calling a Chinese person a yellow/man. It just is. The rest aren't though. I think being called the Braves is a compliment.

The sad part of this is that Indians call themselves Indians. They(most) don't even find Redskins offensive. They(leaders I know) say what they really find offensive is coopting these terms but not living up to our responsibilities towards them. Our Indian reservations have the poorest standard of living in the Western world.
We need to laugh at these white libs who focus on these silly issues instead of what they should be focused on. Oh, well.
