It's pro gay but they are changing to the Fudge Packers.

For what it’s worth I have run across some folks that were truly bothered by the wahoo mascot in particular. I doubt many in here were or could relate.

They have issues that won't be fixed by a new mascot.

Yeah that’s one where the mascot is pretty egregious by today’s arbitrary standards but the team name is not. Doesn’t matter now they WOKE!

Elizabeth was amazing. She whispered about how she wanted me to rub my teepee with land o lakes butter before I entered her beaver pelt.

I’d say everyone gets pretty bothered by something. I guess the question is should the majority that aren’t bothered by that something change to appease the few?

Cleveland Pale Faces then?

Change wahoo to habib?

The Cleveland Whiteyz!!!

Or the Cleveland Crackas.

Those shouldn't bother the majority... I mean most Natives got wiped out... so, there's not a whole lot of us left.

We shouldn't be bothered by names such as Cleveland Indians... or incarnations of the great Crazy Horse, because most people ain't Native.

^You assume that people see "Indian" as a pejorative.

Pale faces, whiteyz and crackas are obviously pejorative... but I'd bet most wouldn't care. The fact you can write them out here without the world coming to an end and anyone complaining to CS is a testament to that. Spell out the N word and watch what happens.

Overall it is ridiculous. Political correctness has went way to far. My lineage is Viking. I think that means Viking is an adjective. What do I know? My english sucks. Call me a Viking I am. Though as a Packers and Bears fan I always loathe the vikings. Also why is it OK to use ****** if you are black? There are certain words I won't use because they are hurtful in my opinion.
I have figured out how to pay my share of reparations though . I calculated how many expensive Gurkhas that would be at MSRP. Then I bought them on line. It was about $12. I sent em to the homes of boss ladies of BLM.

Why is it important that people hold on to the sh*t with diamond hands? What skin you got in it? You part owner?

I used to agree with you guys... was like who really gaf...

But the more people fight, the more it makes me realize the reality of it.

People b*tching are holding on in the name of tradition or what ever... you're crying more than the minority who got their way... soft.

You're literally b*tching about losing a symbol of racism (chief wahoo is a symbol of racism... because I said so... I'm qualified to make that statement).

So b*tch some more. I don't care, I embrace it.. show the world who you are, be proud.

Also, guy with the horse icon...

The whole civil rights movement is about protecting the rights of the minoroty from the majority.

That's literally why it exists.

I'm not bitching about changing a mascot. I'm not an indians fan. Just another instance of caving to the "woke mob". All I said was "good grief"... then you came along with your "racist" words for white people and I pointed out the hypocrisy.

*shrug*
