Senator wants Indians name change

Yes, that's right. Even "Indians" has to go.

Quote:

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- It's time for the Cleveland Indians to drop their name and Chief Wahoo mascot, an Ohio state senator says.

Eric Kearney, a Democrat from Cincinnati, introduced a resolution Wednesday that would encourage the baseball team to adopt a new name and mascot, citing racial insensitivity. He also sent a letter to Indians owner Larry Dolan urging a change.

The slope sure is slippery.

All this politically correct shit. People aren't happy unless they are bitching about something.

Great post in the comments section sums up my opinion:

I would like to request that the Texans and Cowboys also change their names as it is racially insensitive white people. Also I think that the Dolphins should look into changing their name its wrong to use it without the consent of dolphins worldwide. Also, maybe the Saints it seems religiously insensitive.....actually lets just starts calling them teams x,y,z.....wait wait no that would be insensitive to letters hmmmmm...no more sports that seems to be the solution all they do is promote violence and capitalism anyway.

What about the Dolphins? I say they change their name to the Aquatic Mammals. How dare they call the Dolphins,...Dolphins! Bullshit! RACIST!

Instead of team names, we should just assign colors.

Kansas City Pink
Denver Green
Oakland Brown
San Diego Magenta

I'm down with this idea. It's time to wipe all things "Indian" from any level of prominence in our country. If we ignore them maybe they'll get jobs and just go away.

The Cleveland Native American Casino's.

I could see changing the Chief Wahoo but they won't be changing the name.
