Breaking news. Cleveland Indians to change their name

Does any of this name changing—elimination of indigenous tribal names from sports teams, African American for black American, developmentally disabled for mentally retarded—actually solve any problems?

Or is it just more feel good bs? I sense it’s the latter.

Irony is, many of those it’s supposed to make feel good oppose it:

It might not. But it’s a good start to treat them with more respect. Do you have problem with not being able to call disabled people retarded? It’s not a law. So don’t worry. No one will go to jail for using it.
