    Looks like the Cleveland Indians are out too

    This is quite surprising to me, but the free market tends to win out in the end.

    I don't get this. You give a team a band you are proud of and denotes strength and power. It's why you never see a team with the name wet farts.

    Is it really the free market though pushing for the change? I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I think they're just trying to get ahead of the mob.

    They pull Major League from streaming services and I'm rioting.

    And here's one where if the change to something it could be "Tribe" - that would fit

    Gonna have to have teams named after numbers before this is all over so we don't offend anyone. The Atlanta 24s sounds good to me*****

    "The mob" is just the free market though. If enough people decided that they were offended by the name Walmart, to the point where it was affecting profits and stock price, Walmart would change its name.

    If the Indians change their name, they're following the money. I find it very far-fetched that they would make the wrong financial situation here - there's too much money at stake, and it's not like MLB executives are known to be a bunch of emotional bleeding hearts.

    Major League is my favorite baseball movie of all time! And from my very brief time around a MLB clubhouse one of the more fairly accurate. The Vuckovich brothers who played in MLB for awhile were in the movie as "bad guys" for the Yankees.

    I love it too! Field of dreams is my number but major league is a close second.

    I don’t think you can say that for sure though. To say it’s the free market you’d see actual customer shifts, etc. And you can’t measure that right now. Now I’m sure some advertising people might be making threats but there is a ton of virtue signaling right now and it remains to be seen if people would really pull the plug on stuff.

    They all probably hate Jeff Bezos but I bet 98% of the protesters buy stuff on Amazon
