81. I'm a Cleveland fan and they are getting there

The Logo on the teams uniforms for about 68 of the 72 games they've played this year is the traditional Block C that they used way, way back in the day.

Chief Wahoo is going to be phased out. Some people will bitch about it and claim that the PC crowds are running amock, but I think the team realizes that he needs to go, and I predict that he will.

Now, with that being said, I think it's disengunious to try to equate Chief Wahoo with a name that came from payments for the scalps of indians.

IMHO-Names like Braves, Seminoles, Blackhawks, Illini and Indians can and should be seen as honoring, remembering and respecting our national heritage.

Lose the idiotic stereotypical mascots, and I see know problem with those names.

We need to look at the origins and the intents when these teams were named.

If I were to find out that the Syracuse Orangemen were named to make fun of, or mock John Boehner, I'd have a problem with that too!
