Cleveland Indians name change

 


 

More politically correct news at The Daily Caller:

Cleveland’s Major League Baseball team will reportedly drop “Indians” from its name as early as this week.

“For the past 105 years, the team was called the Indians. That will be no more as Cleveland has decided to change its name,” New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt tweeted.

. . .

Although the report indicated that the official news could come as early as this week, a full transition away from the name Cleveland’s American League team has used since 1915 might not be as immediate. One source told Schmidt that the name and current logo — the previous mascot Chief Wahoo was phased out in 2019 — would likely remain through the 2021 season with the change taking effect as early as 2022.

The report is here.  These team names (Indians, Braves, Bengals) and mascots (such as Chief Wahoo) were chosen because they represent the competitive spirit, strength, bravery and other positive qualities.  The fans cheer and have fun with the team name and mascots.  As my husband says, would they rather call them The Cleveland Worms?
