Sports journalist Bomani Jones got Twitter buzzing on Thursday after he appeared on ESPN wearing a shirt with the word “Caucasians” in the style of the Cleveland Indians logo....

“And the other thing is I think it’s funny,” he said. “It’s just like the Cleveland Indians shirt, exactly the same as the Cleveland Indians shirt with just one small change. That’s it.”

“The reason they won’t get rid of Chief Wahoo — it’s completely indefensible — is because they can still sell stuff with it,” Jones added. “They can say they’re going to deemphasize it, but they’re not going to set money on fire.”

“If you’re quiet about the Indians and now you’ve got something to say about my shirt, I think it’s time for introspection.”

Now do the Washington Whiteskins!

2. They should go back to calling themselves "The Blues ..."

because nothing more aptly fits the reaction when hearing you've been traded to Cleveland.

Blues is short for Bluebirds because the players thought it wasn't tough enough. The team was also once known as the Naps, short for player-manager Nap Lajoie.

There was a semi-pro team called the Spiders, too. That would be cool also.
