Only a problem for the perpetual victim class.

Cleveland Samurai?

I kid.

Private businesses can do what they want. Believe me, the merch angle is not a small part of the equation. Chief Wahoo did have to go. The Oneida Nation was the leader of the Change the Mascot effort and who can blame them.

Was there an issue with the name, a ground swell of change the name?

I think the Washington Football Team stumbled on the right answer, btw. Dan Snyder could f'up a wet dream so I know it wasn't on purpose.

I like the original name. I'm confused. Am I a victim if I wish they kept it?

Cleveland Fluffers?

:D

Hmm that's what that's called...

Oh that just ain't right.

The championship tournament IS called the World Series.....

Grovers, Cleavage, 351's, Rocks...

There is a town in the mountain between NYC and Albany NY called:

Catskill. The entire mountain range is called the Catskill mountains. There are yearly protests against killing cats...

It is DUTCH people. It means stream. Like Skyler kill or Cobleskill or Kaaterskill.

New York used to be called "New Amsterdam" and everything was named in Dutch. No one bothered to change the names

Would calling them "Dirty Sanchez" be worse?

Cleveland Rocks would be a great choice.

No!
It would be the best thing ever for baseball!
The seventh inning stretch would have everyone in the stands putting their index finger under their nose like a moustache!

Cleveland “Flaming Rivers” was taken?

Cleveland sucks song

Yup, give credit to Drew Carey.

Ahhh no.

There’s a name for that, McBoatfacing.

They’d end up being The Cleveland Baseball McBaseballFaces.

Should have been the obvious choice.

How bout a Pittsburgh Platter...served with a hot karl on a Kaiser Roll.

At least we're not Detroit. Lol

Cleveland suburbia is really nice. The city, not so much.

Cleveland Buzzards? From Hinckley buzzards and WMMS mascot? Probably too regional.

Rocks would have been best.

Edit: Just found this on Wiki: Rather, WMMS adopted a buzzard as its mascot in April 1974 because of the then tenuous economic state of Cleveland – less than five years away from becoming the first major American city to enter into default since the Great Depression – and the winged-creature's classification as a scavenger.

I broke out in laughter when I first saw the video. There is a part II on You Tube as well. There are allot of nice areas in the Cleveland area.
