Coming out of Twitter retirement to come at me again? My guy, we can have our own corners of the Internet. You can do you. I can do me. And we can co-exist. It’s not hard. I can “bask” in my numbers and you can “bask” in your numbers, if the bank has let you keep any of them

From a total of 19 teams, the others had zero. Still three weeks to stay safe (and recover for the sick ones) with full team support. This is gonna work, so will the other pro leagues. It will be a stark example of the power of money, but it will work.

I think baseball will crown a champion this year. Right now, I have serious doubts about the other team sports ability to so.

Has anybody heard if Didi is a positive? Only player not there today I believe.

Hahaha!

I have to say the thing with the Cleveland American League Baseball Club that gets me is that the name itself doesn't strike me as a problem: after all, many native people to the United States prefer themselves to be known as American Indians even though the "India" portion of that is a misnomer. In other words, I don't think, given that the misnomer has been sort of integrated into the nomenclature, that there is anything particularly offensive about the name in and of itself.

Their former logo, on the other hand...

Meanwhile, I don't know that the logo of the Washington National Football League Club has a logo that is problematic, at least not the helmet image. It seems plenty dignified enough, not intended to mock or anything.

Of course the name is mind-bogglingly backward...

What if the Clevaland Indians used the Washington NFL logo, or the Washington NFL team became the Washington Indians with their present helmet image?
