OK, enough is enough. 

First off, Eric Kearney, YOU'RE A SENATOR FROM OHIO!!!  Try DEFENDING your state and the business/clubs from it.  I get you're from Cincy, but you don't just work for Cincy.

Second, this is a ploy to get the spotlight off of your arse because you fail at paying taxes.

Third, the Chief Wahoo mascot is already being phased out, so give that a rest.  The Block-C is taking over and is being pushed.  I give Wahoo one more year before he's completely gone.

Fourth, you want to change the name? Fine, nobody calls them the Indians anyway, they're mostly referred to as The Tribe.  There you go, the Cleveland Tribe.

Fifth, what's next, are we going to tell John Adams he needs to stop pounding the drum because it, too, is offensive!?

I feel slightly better.
