they are in court with @Cleveland Indians because their name is "racist" because its a stereotypical native Indian. I'm saying that as a guy that lives in Toronto, too.

>it native american

native american isn't even a good term, the best term is just calling them whatever tribe they belong to or whatever group they identify with

@OP
you REALLY need to fact check...the case has literally NOTHING to do with the blue jays, rogers, or their organization. it's some guy who is using the ALCS to try and get the name changed because it's derogatory.

"The move for an injunction blocking the use of the logo comes from lawyers for architect and indigenous activist Douglas Cardinal, who has challenged the use of the name and logo before the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal as discriminatory."

On the other hand, it seems Jose Bautista was coming up with some rather fascinating "conspiracy theories."

@phil
that was blown stupidly out of proportion...he never said that the MLB was conspiring against the blue jays like everyone seems to think he did. he was saying as much as he could, which isn't much. if he calls out the umps, he...
-gets in a LOT of trouble
-takes a massive rep hit (including within the blue jays fanbase)
-every 50/50 call is against him for the rest of his career
-probably wouldn't be able to take a post-career baseball job

it's honestly obvious as hell to me that he was saying that umps have had a poor strike zones this post-season (which they have), but people like to make more drama wherever possible and it doesn't help that bautista isn't exactly the most liked player in baseball.

Well, I didn't really extensively look into what exactly was the deal with that, so I think your explanation helps.

Still, I heard the Indians kind of trolled him in response.

yep, that's what happened to pretty much everyone. an /r/baseball thread literally said that he implied the MLB is conspiring against the blue jays but the article contradicted that. nobody read the article and the entire comment section was people saying bautista was a crybaby, lol.

and yeah the indians trolled him in response and it was honestly some pretty good trolling.

Change the name to the Tribe and it won't be as bad as a term used by a genocidal spaniard back in 1492

"Cleveland Tribe"
ehhhhhh.

i think that they would be better off completely rebranding rather than keeping any ties to a derogatory name.

yeah but that's a nickname, they're not called the Cleveland Tribe. it's fine as a nickname but it's not a very good team name IMO.

i demand the vikings change their name because, as someone with scandinavian heritage, im offended that a group of people with such a disgusting history are being "honored" by being named a football team
