CLEVELAND INDIANS OVER CHIEF WAHOO MASCOT

Native American groups plan to file a federal lawsuit against the Cleveland Indians to force them to retire the Chief Wahoo mascot.

Robert Roche, a Chiricahua Apache who is a part of the "People Not Mascots" group and directs the American Indian Education Center, expects the federal lawsuit to be filed by July.

This crap is getting out of hand. Just make them the Cleveland Cowboys.

Fine, forget indians altogether. They never existed, and we don't like them anyway. They're just regular Americans now. No history, no remembrance, no honor, nothing. Teepees and beads were all those idiots stood for, anyway. We mowed them down, but failed to get 'em all. If they want no recognition, fine. Dynamite the Crazy Horse carving, and erase the history books.

Ungrateful bastards.

441 here, and please, can we turn the sarc button off? My point is, that these teams are all named in the same genre; that is after hard, strong, brave fighters, whether they be Tigers, Lions, Cowboys, Indians, or Gators. Do we really want to change this to other herd fighting entities> I mean, how about the LGBTXYZ's, or the Gay Prides? Maybe the Lesbians? I mean they are all out most recent hard fighters, why not go with that wave until it fizzles out and lends the public to sheepishly follow the next wave of idiocy and mental illness?

Somehow the Washington Muffins doesn't sound all that inspirational...

Thank God we have solved all the other pressing issues in the world today and this is now the most pressing thing to worry about

From now on, let's just call all teams by their city and make all sports boring.

8:32, because "Washington" is the most insulting word in the team name. That's why.

I like the Washington Muffins idea. Tomorrow I will contact my senator and ask him to spend some time in researching any legal aspects in order to put this name change to a vote. In the mean time America is falling apart because of failed leadership. That failure is the responsibility of the Republicans for having no BALLS. In Maryland, Hogan has the balls to make us common people have a voice.

Screw you!!! We should scalp you savages; round up all the injuns and put them on a reservation somewhere. Deny them television and intenet access then they would not be subject to the daily baseball scores.

There should be a "National Laugh At The American Indian Day"where every non Native American can laugh uncontrollably at the Native Americans.Prove to them that we too have rights.
