Cleveland Indians Officially Dropping Name

Following years of protests from fans and Native American groups, the Cleveland Indians have decided to change their team name, moving away from a moniker that has long been criticized as racist, three people familiar with the decision said Sunday.

The move follows a decision by the Washington Football Team of the N.F.L. in July to stop using a name long considered a racial slur, and is part of a larger national conversation about race that magnified this year amid protests of systemic racism and police violence.

Cleveland could announce its plans as soon as this week, according to the three people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

It is not immediately clear what Cleveland’s exact steps will be beyond dropping the Indians name. The transition to a new name involves many logistical considerations, including work with uniform manufacturers and companies that produce other team equipment and stadium signage.

One of the people said Cleveland planned to keep the Indians name and uniforms for the 2021 season while working to shift away from it as early as 2022.

Cleveland spent much of the year before the 2019 season phasing out the logos and imagery of the cartoon mascot Chief Wahoo.

This is really outrageous. I am not even an Indians fan, but if I was? Would never buy another ticket and support this kind of full blown mental retardation

**Allure** · 12-13-20, 08:44 PM

Did the Native American community even demand fukking sports teams dropping their names? No, they don't give a fukk.

Is the world a better place, now that Washington Redskins are called Washington Football Team?

**Mr KLC** · 12-13-20, 08:44 PM

Any “fan” vowing to stop rooting for the the Cleveland baseball team when they have a new name and mascot will immediately be replaced by three more who were waiting for them to make the change.

First you take their land, then you kill most of them and you confine them to reservations, then you name the sports teams after them to "honor" them.

**Mr KLC** · 12-13-20, 08:49 PM

As the Cleveland Indians are soon to become the Cleveland Baseball Team here are some other teams that will soon be forced to change names. If you think they are stopping with a few teams you are mistaken.

**stake1** · 12-13-20, 08:50 PM

I think the Indians entire organization should be eliminated from Mlb.
If they allow this garbage? Then they can't have a team. Been the Indians for 105 years

In 20 years from now, kids won't know what an Indian ever was as their memory will be erased from existence by the Liberals.

**Mr KLC** · 12-13-20, 08:56 PM

If nothing else, I’m excited for the potential headline possibilities for the Cleveland Baseball Team. For example:

‘CBT Pathetic Losers; Fail to Score’

How can we expect kids to ever get a good education without statues and sports team mascots?
