What is 'racist' are the tactics used by anarchist Marxist thugs coersion on businesses, gov't, institutions to totally lie about American history & harmless logos. 'Racist' is the willful racial killings of white US citizens for no reason...except they're white. That is racism!

Cleveland White Boys would have been an excellent name

You must be politically correct.

Since when the word Indian is racist? 🧐

There is nothing racist about the name 'Indians'. Actually it is far less awkward that 'indigenous Americans'. However, the cancel culture is in constant search for new targets.

Go away. Just go away.

I think better options may be: Cleveland Honkys, Cleveland White Trash...ijs.

I agree with Trump

No one in their right frame of mind cares what he has to say. Stop covering this nonsense.

Oh good, two things I don’t care about. Efficiency 10/10
