They should follow the rich tradition of sports teams in Cleveland and call themselves the Cleveland Burnt Siennas.

They could pay homage to the Browns and their decades long World Series drought and go with Factory of Sadness.

I'm an Indians fan and I'm bummed by this.

Wahoo was offensive, and now gone.

But Indians? We're all Patriots, right? That's a team name. Yankees has a worse affiliation than Patriots in my estimation.

Redskins I get, but Indians? I don't get it.

Considering that Indians is a false term (unless they’re talking about people from India) I get that. And who knows? Maybe they’ll win a championship under their new name?

Native Americans refer to themselves as Indians. It’s not a big deal.

I vote for the Cleveland Blues although my Wife countered with now they would have two teams with their names being a color.

Why not. They've been singing them for decades.

Words can only hurt so much.

I am too old for this, apparently.

Browns is a racist name they should have to change their name too.
I DEMAND A NAME CHANGE!!!

Nice link. Seeing OK, the Dakotas, at the top of the list is interesting considering the history of the regions.
