OT Cleveland Indians vs. Chicago Cubs series thread..

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

I think what most of you are losing sight of is the fact that it's ok to make fun of your own racial stereotypes. It's not (in most instances) ok to make fun of others.

White people created all these logos.

Now if y'all wanna act like the Indians (the name alone is STUPID and wrong) mascot is not racist, I fear our country has farther to go than I thought.
I understand that argument, and I think it's pretty valid. But I just think that no matter what the logo is, someone is gonna be unhappy about it. Someone is gonna find something wrong with, or be offended by some aspect of it. I really don't think that the Cleveland Indians are trying to intentionally insult anybody. I don't think the Notre Dame fighting Irish logo was meant to insult anybody, but it is equally offensive in my book.
 
My mother would be smiling if she were still around....life long Cubs fan
 
Just as racist as every other caricature of a white person. Or non white person.

But the Indians is not? You've JUST spent the entire thread arguing that Chief Wahoo is NOT racist....
 
I'd say Hockey and Soccer to start....I love baseball..it's a chess match ...playing the angles. Bases loaded bottom of the ninth down 3 full count....bingo ...grand slam home run....great sport

What are you talking about? In both Soccer and Hockey you are on offense when you have the ball. The only other sport besides baseball is what, Cricket?

I guess something was lost in translation. I don't think any of the logos are racist. But if the Cleveland Indians logo is racist, then so are all of the other logos/caricatures, including the white ones. So I guess my point is, until I hear a bunch of people bitching about the other logos, like the stupid little Irish guy with his fists up, and a clover on his hat. I don't wanna hear people bitch about any of them. I think it's hypocritical.

Either they're all racist. Or they're all not racist. So which is it?

You still don't get it....
 
Main reason why Basketball is the best sport. You play on both sides of the ball.

Technically, except for the DH in AL ballparks... baseball players play both sides of the ball as well.

They're all racist. BUT it's ok to make fun of your own.

Plus, baseball is the only major sport that doesn't play with a clock.

Ok lol. You realize that saying a person can't do or say something, based on the color of their skin, is racist?
I think you don't get it. But if you answer this question, it will clear it all up.

Do you think the Notre Dame logo is racist?
 
Should've never been there IMO.

I see nothing wrong to leaving threads to popular sporting events in the main forum as long as they stay on topic. This is a sports forum.

You clearly have a skewed view of what racism is.
 
That's why I species identify as a dog so I can make fun of all of you.
 
I came here to read a thread about the world series and find it's loaded with talk about racism and hating baseball while a few baseball fans are actually talking baseball. This must be like some of the game threads in the Blazer forum. :lol:

Change the name. I'm part Choctaw. That shit is offensive.

I want Washington to lose every game until they do.

The game is in 25 minutes. YUS. Got the cubs radio feed, so I'm good! I really hope the Cubs win, but if Cleveland wins, it's also a long time coming, so I wouldn't feel too bad.

C'mon....the goalie is the superstar in hockey and soccer....so many games end 0-0 decided by penalty kicks...how is that not defensively slanted? Cricket has very little defense....you'll fall asleep in the outfield and no foul balls...all pitching and batting

Any sport that uses white balls is racist.
