Mahoning posted:I'm going to disagree with you only in the fact that the Block C is the ugliest, least unique logo possibly ever. You can't tell me that's the best they could come up with that wasn't offensive.  If it were up to me, it'd be THIS "C". I've warmed up a bit to the other one in some ways though. It kind of sucks though because growing up? I never thought of Wahoo as racist. I mainly just associated him with the baseball team I followed like every little kid from cleveland during the 90's. Obviously my mindset has changed after learning about Native Americans, their culture, and why this isn't right. So even though I dislike the idea of changing it because of my own association with the logo, it has to be done.

The Indians should just go back to being the Spiders which is a way more baller name anyway.

MourningView posted:The Indians should just go back to being the Spiders which is a way more baller name anyway. I brought this up in another thread, and people keep bringing it up across the internet. Why? Because Spiders is an awesome name that really should be used immediately, and is already the best possible nickname not used in the four major sports (now that Pelicans has been taken). The Prisoner posted:The only reason that Indians came around as a nickname in the first place was because everyone in the 1890s hated the Spiders nickname. I have an idea - Cleveland sucks at naming sports teams. The MLB team is the Indians, a nickname introduced with a racist cartoon in the local paper on the day it was announced. The NFL team is the Browns, named after a team legend, but their logo is an plain orange helmet. Not a brown helmet, or anything brown at all. Really, it's like if the Indians logo wasn't Chief Wahoo, but another racist caricature of a completely out of left field ethnicity. The NBA team is the Cavaliers, which, really, what the gently caress. These guys below are the most intimidating mascots in Cleveland major sports.  Other names for the Cleveland NBA franchise could have been the Jays, Foresters, or Presidents. Jays could've been a little weak, Presidents would've been rad, but Foresters would have been amazing. Why? The Cavs' longtime arena, the Richfield Coliseum, was built in the middle of what's now the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. A team could've played in a cool arena in the middle of a treasured national forest, with a name to match. Instead, they're named after a group of Frenchmen who wore ridiculously stupid outfits. In short, Cleveland needs to stop naming teams, and let the rest of us name them for the city.

It's hilarious because the person he's tattle-telling on isn't even the one who made the (purposely ridiculous) RGIII / Hitler comparison. He's ratting out the guy who laid down a sick burn on Darren Rovell after the fact. So I have to imagine he called up the kid's college dean and was like "One of your students insinuated that I like to say dumb things. Handle this situation!"

It just seemed like a joke "reported" post that we see every day in GBS. Not that Rovell isn't a gigantic douchebag, but I don't think he actually tried to get this kid in real trouble.

Darren Rovell never really makes jokes like that, I doubt it. More likely would be he internet detective'd the kid to find out his dean's name, and then is throwing it out to imply that he could get him in trouble if he wanted to. I doubt he actually called the guy.

Rovell thinking for a moment that Chuck Shipan would even give him two seconds of his time is funny enough by itself. Dude's the chair of one of the best political science departments in the country and probably has way better things* to do than kowtow to a two-bit hack reporter. *by "better things" I mean the mountains of bullshit inherent to academia, but I digress.

Considering that in 1899, the Spiders were basically torn apart by the Robinson brothers (the owners). They traded their best players to the St. Louis Cardinals who were owned by...the Robinson Brothers. They then proceeded to have the worst season, losing 134 games, which still hasn't been topped. They lost 101 games on the road. Their home attendance would make Marlin games look like Times Square on New Year's Eve. Anyway bring back the Cleveland Naps.

This thread's namesake is on Twitter right now blaming the Pittsburgh school stabbing on anti-bullying hysteria, the lack of male teachers, harsher punishments for in-school fighting, and the lack of armed security guards. This is a new low even for garbage like him.
