Banning Race-Based mascots

[RblDiver]

The rebel ones baffle me. I can understand the Indian mascots but the rebel ones?

Probably "Rebel = Confederate = Slavery = Hateful to blacks"

Yet that is not why the civil war was fought. "Yankee" should have the same racist implications seeing as the people of the "north" could of cared less for black people.

Yeap, one of the biggest lies in American "History" is the narative currently taught about the reasons behind the civil war.

I much prefer baseball to football personally, but the Redskins thing always makes me think of Cleveland. They are de-emphasizing Chief Wahoo more and more.

I suspect in less than a decade, you won't get those classic Indians hats anymore, which I'll miss.
Having said that, their extremely plain uniforms they have been using (away and alt1) look great to me. Most teams dress terribly, these look good.


Edit: If Cleveland had to abandon the name, going back to the Naps would be awesome.

Heh, combining this and Jeff's:

Rebel = Rebel Alliance = Admiral Ackbar = Fish = Fish Sticks = Kanye West = Obama
