Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Roller Derby? I thought that went out decades ago. Use to watch it on TV back in the 50s and early 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Any roller derby event is mostly a lot more entertaining than most baseball games. I loved playing baseball, but it can be boring to watch, at times. Some sports seem to be more fun to play, than to watch. I hope the roller derby team wins, but I bet the baseball organization has more highly paid lawyers, so it may not be too difficult to see where this is going. Sometimes, I think it is the one's with the most expensive lawyers, that get the win. They should have not caved, and been so weiner politically correct. There is zero negative connotation in the name "Indians". Having "native-American" ancestors, I find no fault in the name. I am proud of it. Someone, somewhere, somehow, is going to have their wittle fweelings hurt, and be "offended", no matter what. Get over it, and get a life, for crying in a bucket!!! Grow a spine, and do something useful, instead of complaining. Just my own B.G. opinion. W.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Indians have probably already have a ton of Guardians stuff to sell and uniforms designed etc. They’ll probably win but I bet they pay big bucks to the roller derby team! Personally I hope they lose and have to get another name! Worst owners ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Maybe they should have put it to the vote, and let the people of the whole State, decide if they wanted to change the name. Then, if the majority of the people wanted to change the name, then have a State-wide naming contest, and let the people decide. Naming a sports team, so as not to "offend", ain't easy in this day, and stupid time.... Let's see... Cleveland Crackers....nope...might offend the "white" people. Cleveland Engines....nope...might offend those that think the internal combustion engine is the anti-Christ. Cleveland NDN's....nope...not spelled the same way, but pronounced the same way. Cleveland Cutthroats...nope...reminds too many people of politicians. Cleveland Crusaders....nope....would offend muslim terrorists, since it reminds them of the crusades. Cleveland Cows....nope....cows, according to some animal groups, are exploited enough, as it is. Cleveland Crows....nope....reminds some of jim crow laws. Cleveland Krakens....nope....the city is too far from the oceans, to identify with a sea creature, and besides, like a concerned politician, it is a mythological creature. Cleveland Crabs....nope....it would remind too many people of their youthful risky behavior. Cleveland Cleavers....nope...."progressive" moms would say that is glorifying an edged weapon. Cleveland Native Americans...nope...there are no "native" Americans...everyone is likely aware that our early ancestors came from some place else, so that would be deceitful. (better???) Cleveland Cats....nope....again, the animal rights groups would point out that cats are too exploited as it is. Cleveland Dogs...nope....that name may reveal how good the team is playing, that year. You know...if the Cleveland baseball team, and the old Esso gasoline company, could have gotten together, they could have named their team the Bee's. Yep....they could have been called the Cleveland Esso Bee's. W.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted them to keep the name the Indians but if they insisted on changing it I said The Commodores after Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, battle of Lake Erie !

Personally I hope they lose and have to get another name! Worst owners ever! They don't even begin to match the owner of the Pirates. He refuses to pay for experienced players trades away fan favorites has the lowest payroll in baseball and makes his money from revenue sharing. He won't sell the team because he is making to much money losing and MLB won't take the franchise away from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
