Is it too late in the thread for a joke? This is not mine . . . saw it somewhere today, but here goes:

It's incredibly insensitive and insulting that the team is called the Cleveland Indians. To remedy this, I suggest changing the name to just the Indians.

(a slam on Cleveland, not an attack on the indigenous, to be clear)

Cleveland White People. Can't even locate India on a map for over 500 years.
 
Coming Soon In the Sports Cultural War:

In Virginia and most of the south they are offended by the term Yankees. Therefore the new name of the Bronx baseball team should be.......................

It sunk in Superior but had enough history in Erie and with the city of Cleveland. Like all things shipping, the owner, operator, port of registry and everything else get muddled but Cleveland has legit claim to historical lineage to the ship.

Sorry, but the name Steamers opens the door for lots of bad images of steaming piles of "you know what" when the team is losing! Any reference to Native Americans is a non-starter. Animals, on the other hand are not controversial. Ohio's most poisonous snake is the Copperhead...and Ohio's native big cat is the Bobcat.....while Ohio's State Animal is the Whitetail Deer! The male deer has huge antlers. Antlers can be a cool logo. Male deer are called Stags or Bucks, but the OSU Buckeyes are often called the Bucks--so perhaps it's too familiar--or confusing---even though the Buckeye is a tree!.
So let's go with the...... Cleveland Stags.

I'm sure this will eventually get moved to the baseball board, but still no basketball to talk about, so what say you?

Cleveland needs a name for their MLB team. Here's hoping they can do better than the Washington Football Team.

Cleveland Cavaliers for basketball really doesn't make any sense. Save Cavalier for Virginia. Cleveland Browns may be the most perfect description for a city and franchise ever.
I've seen some suggestion making a play on the movie Major League. Disney already gave us the Ducks in the NHL so there is precedence.
Some have brought up R&R HoF being in Cleveland and doing something with that. Count me out. Made no sense to me that a city without much if any relevance to the history of R&R gets the HoF. No need to double down on that mistake.
Me? I look at Cleveland as a port city on the Great Lakes with a long and strong maritime history.

Cleveland Steamers. Perfect for the city and the ballclub.

Surprisingly durable thread with some good (and bad) entries, especially when it could have been over & out after the punchline.
