What Should Cleveland's MLB Team be Named?

They find the name offensive so you post more racist and offensive names?! Cancel. Get over yourself

Isn’t that already taken by one of the Texas or Georgia teams?

 

[BROBS]

nope.

We know. It’s obvious. Yuge success.

I like Cleveland Spirit Walkers, but it is probably too ethereal for the fan base, so maybe the Cleveland Spears would work. The Native American presence will be felt in any case because of Chicago and a thousand other indigenous place names from coast to coast, and in Alaska, Hawaii and beyond.

I’m positive that the name will be so awfully sensitive that no one will be offended.
Rest assured, getting to the moon was easier than this task.

I believe the Cleveland Spiders were an early professional team in the town, so the name would be a bit of a throwback. My Atlanta Braves will probably have a name change in the next few years (though the Cherokee Nation partners with the team and have apparently given their blessing on the team's name an iconography). The most common suggested name for the Atlanta team is the Hammers.
