    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.

    Girls, Girls, you're all pretty no matter what your skin color is.

    But I'm moving this thread the fuck out of the main forum.

    But the Indians is not? You've JUST spent the entire thread arguing that Chief Wahoo is NOT racist....

    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?

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

    Fair enough. My main issue is who has the ball.

    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?

    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.
