I know a team in a different sport owns this name but the Cleveland Lakers makes sense. Right?!?!
LOL. Yup, as much sense as "Los Angeles Lakers."
Nice to see that Cleveland's in no rush to change this "offensive" name, so they can make as much money as possible from it before ditching it.
I understand the context of ditching "Indians," and how the cartoonish Chief Wahoo is offensive, but I'm not convinced that "Indians" is offensive. Yes, it was an
inaccurate name for Native Americans based on the geographic confusion of certain European explorers, but offensive? Or is it offensive simply
because it's inaccurate?
Edit: Perhaps they should go back to being the Cleveland Naps, in honor of (perhaps) the greatest player in team history.
