Following the footsteps of the Washington football team, the team formerly known as the Clevaland Indians will drop their name and adopt a name that does not reference Native Americans.

What about the "Fighting Irish?" Are any Irish upset about this name?

Next up, the Fighting Irish. As my daughter has direct lineage to the smaller island of the UK, I'm all for eliminating that mascot.

Reminds me of the controversial Band halftime show, "The Irish, why must they fight?" It's good that show didn't happen in the social media era, or a sh*tstorm would have erupted as a result. The irony, of course, was that the band was not making fun of the Irish; it was making fun of Notre Dame's mascot, which, if you think about it, would be rather offensive if not adopted by a Catholic school with fairly deep Irish roots.

Rockers. It is the home of the Rock and Roll HOF.

I was thinking of the Cleveland Burning Rivers.

Given its history I wonder why UND's mascot isn't the Fighting French. Someone dressed up like Louis-Phillippe instead of a leprechaun.

I believe that was the theme song for the Drew Carey show.

I'm a big fan of Rockers. Just wonder if it is too close to "Rockies" for MLB's taste.
