Just FYI -- The "Throwback" 1989 Cleveland Indians uniforms -- which are famous because of the "Major League" movie franchise -- are not accurate in the game.
I get that SDS would never use the real logo that appeared on that uniforms hat -- Its a dang logo but it might offend someone. God forbid. (Or it may be banned from official use by the MLB for all i know)
BUT THEN DONT INCLUDE THE UNIFORM.
Rewriting history by CHANGING the uniform and including a version that NEVER EXISTED is is dishonest.
Either include the whole uniform as it existed or dont....but changing it and then using it to make money while never mentioning that its not really the 1989 uniform is dishonest..
If you cant use the logo because of MLB rules...just say so. If you did it because of your own sensibilities...have the guts to say that too.
Or just dont use a uniform that is not acceptable to current standards.
People deserve better than to be spoon fed, a sanitized, fake version of baseball.
IMHO
Natives deserve better than being a mascot. [censored] you, how about that?
Do you also protest Notre Dame Fighting Irish? Their logo is a cartoon caricature drawing of a funny looking short squatting irishman with two fists up...
I'm Irish and I'm not upset by it, you know why? It's a cartoon caricature.
You know who isn't upset about indian team names and logos? My wife who is native american. Why? Because it's a cartoon, and she's tried of people being offended on her behalf.
The fact is they did alter history, if they don't want it in the game then just don't put those uniforms in the game... That simple. But re-designing their old uniforms? That's messed up and next level historical revision.
Finding someone who has indigenous heritage who isn't offended doesn't mean she doesn't get to speak on behalf of all of them.
She never claimed to. Ever. And I didn't go find someone for an opinion, we are literally married and I gave you insight to what she thinks on the topic. I mean you should really step back and listen to yourself right now.
In fairness that is how you were putting her opinion across so I suggest you step back and listen to yourself right now.
No I didn't. Informed you of her opinion of indian related cartoons and sports teams and that she is tried of people being offended on her behalf. Then you literally decided the marginalize her because her opinion didn't align with how you want her to think. That's the ironic part of this.
The only irony here is that it's not ironic.
I also don't think you understand what marginalized means.
Dude...
mar·gin·al·ize
verb
treat (a person, group, or concept) as insignificant or peripheral.
"attempts to marginalize those who disagree"Exactly what your response was. You're welcome.
How did I treat any class of people as insignificant?
People like this guy are always the same, the want to be able to say whatever offensive racist [censored] they want but when someone tells them they are wrong it's all like "whoa why so aggressive?". The only way they know how to argue is by gaslighting bs

@duiaintez_psn said in PC culture rewrites history.:
I had to cut this from a prior edit because it seems like you don't seem to get it.
To be crystal clear:
- You stated your wife's opinion that she doesn't think it's an issue, and wanted to validate it on the basis she's indigenous.
Two options here, either:
- You're asserting her view invalidates views other indigenous people have that it is offensive. Or
- You're saying she's indigenous, not offended, but that doesn't invalidate those who are.
One is an appeal to authority which is made worse that you define the class of "authority" as being indigenous, but deny indigenous people from that class. The second is nothing more than a red herring, because you don't take a position at all.
There's the possibility you deny that there's a non-trivial number of indigenous people who ARE offended, but then you're just an ignorant [censored].
Nice, I think we are done here.

TBH I think it would go a long way to disambiguate racist from being ignorant. I think the connotations of being labelled a racist end up making people defensive and halting any sort of constructive exchange.

"You know who isn't upset about indian team names and logos? My wife who is native american. Why? Because it's a cartoon, and she's tried of people being offended on her behalf"
Hmmm... does seem like you're tying to imply that because your wife is indigenous and not offended, then it's not an issue. Either that, or you're not making a point relevant the the discussion at hand.
I'm not speaking for anyone but I get the impression you don't really care to read in a haste to argue with anyone who challenges your view (either real or imagined). Oddly enough, I didn't even take a position on the matter, aside from your argument is logically flawed.
The original reply was to the statement that natives deserve to be treated better than a mascot follow by an exploitive remark towards the poster... I provided a personal view of someone close to me who is actually impacted in the matter as a response that was contrary to the person speaking on her behalf.... That persons view was then dismissed because it didn't agree with the narrative pushed by yourself and the other poster. You also strangely seem to be taken aback that she doesn't like to be spoken for on the matter, before you decided to dismiss her thoughts.
This was never presented as authority or speaking for others, what-so-ever, those are wild assumptions you made far beyond written word or context, rather than just taking it for what it is, which is a person's viewpoint from someone directly impacted.
I actually did take a position which you didn't bother to read, which was either include the uniforms as they were, or don't include them in the game at all if you don't want that imagery, but altering them crosses the line. Seems fair enough, include the actual uniform, or if you don't want the imagery then don't include them in the game, that simple.
I'll be waiting for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish protesters... Any day now...
Just because you put extra effort into trying to sound articulate didn't make you right. It also doesn't give you the right to be dismissive of someone directly impacted.
Have fun arguing with people over the silly cartoon and good luck on your next crusade brave white knight.

It has always been my understanding that it was the "Mascot" that most people found offensive, not the team name itself. And there remains the debate, if the team name came out of respect for Louis Sockalexis a member of Penobscot Nation, who was the first Indian who played for Cleveland, but when it comes to rewriting history, he wasn't treated well by the fans during his playing days. I do know his family, don't want his contributions to the game to be lost as a result of the name change. There is still a statute there to honor him, but I certainly can understand how people find the mascot offensive.

So maybe you can clear this up for me(preferably as succinctly as possible): Your wife is indigenous. She does not find the team name or mascot offensive. Does this mean that it is not offensive to other indigenous people?

Thats not their name though. They're Native Americans, not truly Indians. They were only coined that because Columbus thought he landed in Indonesia. We don't even "honor" them with their proper heritage.

Thanks for letting everyone know her opinion on her own culture doesn't matter but you get to speak for her. I mean you should really step back and listen to yourself right now.
"You know who isn't upset about indian team names and logos? My wife who is native american. Why? Because it's a cartoon, and she's tried of people being offended on her behalf"
Hmmm... does seem like you're tying to imply that because your wife is indigenous and not offended, then it's not an issue. Either that, or you're not making a point relevant the the discussion at hand.
I'm not speaking for anyone but I get the impression you don't really care to read in a haste to argue with anyone who challenges your view (either real or imagined). Oddly enough, I didn't even take a position on the matter, aside from your argument is logically flawed.
The original reply was to the statement that natives deserve to be treated better than a mascot follow by an exploitive remark towards the poster... I provided a personal view of someone close to me who is actually impacted in the matter as a response that was contrary to the person speaking on her behalf.... That persons view was then dismissed because it didn't agree with the narrative pushed by yourself and the other poster. You also strangely seem to be taken aback that she doesn't like to be spoken for on the matter, before you decided to dismiss her thoughts.
This was never presented as authority or speaking for others, what-so-ever, those are wild assumptions you made far beyond written word or context, rather than just taking it for what it is, which is a person's viewpoint from someone directly impacted.
I actually did take a position which you didn't bother to read, which was either include the uniforms as they were, or don't include them in the game at all if you don't want that imagery, but altering them crosses the line. Seems fair enough, include the actual uniform, or if you don't want the imagery then don't include them in the game, that simple.
I'll be waiting for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish protesters... Any day now...
Just because you put extra effort into trying to sound articulate didn't make you right. It also doesn't give you the right to be dismissive of someone directly impacted.
Have fun arguing with people over the silly cartoon and good luck on your next crusade brave white knight.
So maybe you can clear this up for me(preferably as succinctly as possible): Your wife is indigenous. She does not find the team name or mascot offensive. Does this mean that it is not offensive to other indigenous people?
This should have been clear already don't know how many times I have to say she doesn't speak for everyone...
I will say it again and be as clear as possible:
No, it doesn't mean it's not offensive to other native americans.The fact that people are so eager to lump all people of a single ethnic group together as a single voice is part of the problem today.

People are offended by everything these days. Makes me glad I’m old and I’ll die before I get to see the climax of it all.
