Lobo Amor Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Let's get rid of all mascots and make everyone's school colors gray. We'll have home/visitor jerseys like we use for scrimmages for all games. Let's just remove any identity from any team that way no one is offended. Now this is why politics should not be involved in sports, it has ruined our country and now it's ruining our entertainment. Now my question is how many people that are truly baseball fans are the ones crying out for this change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice that you're the authority who gets to decide what matters to everyone, forever Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

Come on man Besides the fact that it doesn't have buck teeth, it IS a cartoon. The Fighting Irish and the San Diego padre have cartoony features too.....that's the nature of a cartoon.

The fact that you and others continue to compare Wahoo to the Fighting Irish, or even the now the Padres just shows a complete and totally inability to think critically.

Furthermore, read the discussion above. Drawing a cartoon of yourself isn't the same as other people drawing a cartoon of you.

You instinctively realize it's probably the right thing to do, but if there isn't a measurable improvement in the quality of people's lives as a result than it won't be enough to do the right thing for you. This is what the 80's, Reagan, NeoCon liberals, and now hard libertarians have brought America. The end of the age of the golden rule and beginning of the age of what rules is gold. We've become less racist and more open in the process, but conversely we are as selfish as ever...let's face it, people get bothered by these changes, not because they need or want Cleveland's logo to look like that, but because it's what's familiar to them, what they know. Who cares if it's the symbol of latent racism and a caricature that's highly inaccurate to others! I don't like change because I'm older now! Wow, you sound so angry.

And then in 30 years, white lefties will say Tribe is racist and demand it be changed. Until all teams are just a color, someone will be pissed.

Take a chill pill lol, the only angry folks are snowflakes who get triggered if a mascot for a team they don't really follow changes. Somehow they think its an indictment of their culture so they cry about what is being taken away from them while ignoring how they appropriated someone else's culture for profit.

IOW, as a white male non-native it is no surprise that you don't care this mascot is deeply offensive to NATIVE AMERICANS. Just like I don't care if people think or call Russians alcoholic sociopaths, what do I care, I'm not Russian. However, there is a difference between me not caring about that and whether or not it is offensive to Russians or others. All you guys are doing is revealing the selfish nature at the center of how you feel. Empathy totally overridden by the need to keep the familiar. Pathetic.
