my question is why the people from india would have a problem with the name 'cleveland indians'? also don't know why cleveland would name their team after a foreign country anyway.

i'm not "at it". i'm just asking the questions with hopes you have the answers. however, i do know this. the cleveland indians were actually named the 'molly mcguires' from 1912 to 1914. why not just go back to that? :P OR they could re-adopt their original name ... the 'BLUES'.

I'll be the judge as to whether you at "at it" or not. I do like the Molly McGuires as a team name - in honor of Sean Connery who starred in the movie.
