    This is true but that guy could never hit his weight.

    Some of you guys have great lives if this is your definition of getting trampled on. Good for you but I have bigger problems to deal with.
    Your missing the point it’s not about the renaming! Thats just to see how far they can keep pushing their agenda on people without people pushing back!

    I doubt very seriously that it was the owners idea to rename these teams!

    The irony so thick on those one...... general Cleveland from which the city was named after is the man that essentially dooped the tribes into swapping land for some shiney beads and fire water lol

    Look, I'm not saying this country doesn't have its problems. I voted using a utility bill (heard a rumor and so I tried it), that's utter BS and something worth pushing back on and debating. Giving out free money and holding employers and landlords hostage - BS. What is our country's debt now, I can't even keep track anymore.

    But getting pissed over what companies do with their time and money? Just stop buying their products and move on. Isn't everyone giving up on sports and the Olympics to spend more time with family and fishing? That's a good thing!!

    It gets better in this saga. Billionaires and billion dollar sports team and their legal team can't even google the new name ideas?

    I'd assume the Sockalexis family isn't thrilled with the change since it was in honor of Louis.
