#2 Nope, you guys are now team crybaby. If I hadn't been already boycotting MLB my entire life, I'd start now.

#3 The really stupid thing is that the Indians were originally named the Indians in order to HONOR a native American player who had died.

#4 ....As a lifelong fan, I'm a little disappointed, but I also realize it could have been far worse.

What I was hoping for was the team's original name before the Indians - the Spiders. There was some fan artwork out there from Cleveland that showed what they could have done with that.

In the meantime, however, they can have my Chief Wahoo jersey once they tear it out of my cold, dead hands.

I guess the name "Indian" is to no longer pay respected to the Ohio Indian Tribes of the area.

Cheer up they could have picked Cleveland Gang Bang'ers or Cleveland Thugs

#10 "Guardians of last place" gotta a ring to it.

#11 In the screwed-up culture of "woke and go Broke," I vote for the Cleveland Chihuahuas. Cleveland Piss-ants might be a little over the top.

#12 Rest in peace, Cleveland Indians. Let us remember one (or ten!) of the team's finest contributions to sporting events.
