Cleveland Indian team logo gone.. Deemed racist..

**Kermit** · 01-29-18, 05:48 PM

They should use this for their new logo.

**GUMMO77** · 01-29-18, 05:49 PM

Personally I think it's up to Native Americans to use their voice if they have issues with these and other logos. There was a time where Native Americans couldn't speak up, or people wouldn't listen, but in the age of social media that isn't a problem anymore.

If they don't care, why should anyone else.

Agree. Last I heard, 9 out of 10 American Indians didn't care about the Redskins name or logo.

Liberals job is to mind everyone else's business.

Native Americans protest Chief Wahoo logo at Cleveland Indians home opener

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/apr/11/native-americans-protest-chief-wahoo-logo-at-cleveland-indians-home-opener

Native American groups have protested the Indians’ grinning, red-faced logo for years, but the cries for change are only growing in volume

That's what you do when you don't have job, don't have a life, and are angry and drunk most of the time.. You go out and protest stupid stuff like this...

Indians should have no beef with that logo and it should be an honor.. It's just a silly Indian smiling.. This could be a different story below.

Other poster claimed the Natives didn't care. Just showing that some of them apparently do care.

sad. what can you do these days, they were bound to cave into pressure eventually. one of my favourite logos growing up

**Mr KLC** · 01-30-18, 06:28 AM

It's not as much as these liberal groups think this is racist as it is that they are so damn motivated in killing traditionalism. Trust me, they could kill every Native American nickname and logo out there, and they still will keep on going. They would go after other franchises for different reasons just for the sake of doing it. These guys are like nymphomaniacs, because they can never be satisfied.

By who's standard? Surely not the majority of the sporting public because the Redskins are still one of the top merchandising franchises in all of sports.

Of course not. The sporting public in US is predominantly white males.

**grease lightnin** · 01-30-18, 07:38 AM

Please let them make a team that is “racist” to whites.

That would solve all this shit

Would be great.

I'd like to see the Cincinatti Gingers or Brooklyn Dagos. Maybe the Dallas Dumb Blonds for a lingerie football team.

Stoooooop lmfao. I don't think a lot would be really pissed about that because there wasn't really any white struggle in Us. Still very offensive though

**teecee** · 01-30-18, 11:45 AM

Saltines have nothing to do with why white people are called crackers. I would be put off if the mascot were white and holding a whip.

**wikkidinsane** · 01-30-18, 11:57 AM

Lol. Some don't find that shameful but from a time of power

We struggle at:

—getting fair shots at low skill jobs at large corporations
—dancing
—jumping
—having large penises
—playing professional football and basketball

I'm part Irish. Does the Notre Dame nickname "Fighting Irish" bother me? Not one bit.

Some people are too sensitive.

No. Inside most stereotypes, there's some degree of truth.

No it doesn’t bother me. Plus I think it’s one of those where people might be ignorant to.

That logo would not bother me in the slightest - but once again the liberals would be up in arms over how non-inclusive (i.e. racist) it was.
