#4 DooDahMan, the really stupid thing about the Indians changing their name is that they were originally named that to HONOR a Native American player.
Of course, these days all it takes is one or two members of a favored group to get outraged to force a change like this.

#9 If they had a sense of humor, they'd change their name to Native America just to mess with people. And maybe a little payback for all that 'Indian' confusion.

#10 Whatever it turns to I expect it will be like Madras /Chennai.

#13 "Where's India, bro?"
"Is it not where we left it, down there by the ghat, in the smoke?"
"No, it woke, and by way of a joke,
