    Cleveland narrowing, vetting final list of new team names

    The team, however, continues to sell merchandise featuring the grinning, cartoonish mascot.

    https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...list-new-names

    The forthcoming name change has sparked lively debate among Cleveland fans, some wanting the club to remain the Indians. Among the most popular names pushed by fans on social media are the Spiders, Guardians and Avengers.

    Cleveland Lakers then change the LA Lakers to LA Oceaners.

    Because there is a lake in Cleveland and an ocean in LA.

    They should call them the Natives, seriously. If they want to be all politically correct and all. Why change the whole dynamic?

    Cancel culture is a cancer to society. The Washington Redskins name change still doesn't sit well with me today.

    The Spiders seem to be the leading choice thou everyone I know hates it.
    I like Cleveland Clippers. It's their AAA Columbus name but they could change that. Where were there ever clippers ships in CBus?
    There were thousands in Lake Erie.

    If that is all it takes for America to become weak, it was never strong to begin with.
