Anybody else see where MLB wants to meet with the Indians after the WS to discuss their "offensive" team logo?

What a bunch of ****. When is all this pathetic PC garbage going to stop? What kind of team picks a name or logo depicting something weak? It's a freakin' compliment, you idiots.

CHIEF WAHOO IS PROBABLY THE MOST OFFENSIVE. IMAGINE THE NEW YORK JEWS WITH A GRINNING YARMULKE AND HASIDIC HAT WEARING YID.

NEVER FLY.

It's called a caricature. Considering a good chunk of Native Americans identify themselves as "American Indians", I see no reason why it's such a big deal. I guarantee this is a case where the PC advocates care a hell of a lot more than the "victimized" group.

How about a team with a leprechaun with fists clenched and call them the Fighting Irish?

CLUTCHING A BOTTLE AND PUKING IN PENN STATION WOULD BE MORE APT

Nice to see my 2 biggest fans are still following me around.
Let's keep it on topic for a change though.

Tired of all the stupid BS on far too many of these pages. A few people ruining things for everyone. On topic or it's gone.

BWAHAHAHA!!!! All3 got a little sensitive. Forget that he's one of the most racist people on these boards

KEEP REPORTING!

Here's the thing. I'm 1/8th Cherokee and I don't get offended easily. So Braves, Indians, Chiefs, Redskins, etc doesn't offend me.

But, other than the Fighting Irish(and the Irish probably aren't offended by that either because they like to drink and fight), how many team names refer to a specific race? Most choose animals(Panthers, Rams, Seahawks, etc) or groups of people who could be from any race(Minutemen, Volunteers, Cowboys, etc).

And, before the Irish get all pissy, I'm either a quarter or an eight Irish.

Maths is hard for Bracco.

I know it's easy to blast Mike, and even easier to blast his wannabe tag-along, and I appreciate the thought, but as I said, on topic or it's gone.

Somebody got their panties bunched.

If you're not a Native American, you don't decide what you think is racist and/or a compliment to them. White America treated the "indians" as bad, or worse, as slaves. It's just a matter of deciding what is worse: A lifetime of slavery vs killing you and your entire village.

Would anyone really walk up to a Native American and say "Hey, Indian, which way to the Wal-mart?"

That said, and to piggyback the thought, I don't think anyone feels "black man" is racist. It's a description. But no one is saying "Hey, black man, which way to the Wal-mart?"

Is "Indian" a description? I don't think the police use "Wanted: Indian, 5'10" tall, roughly 180 lbs, wearing a white shirt and blue jeans".

Would anyone feel 100% comfortable with a team called the Mississippi Black Men?
