“Cleveland Indians” will reportedly go the way of “Washington Redskins.”
The New York Times reported Sunday evening, citing “three people familiar with the decision” that the Indians could announce the change as early as this week, though the team plans to keep its current moniker for the 2021 season. According to the Times, it wasn’t immediately clear what the team’s exact time frame and plans are. One of the sources says the team plans to shift away from “Indians” for the 2022 season, because there are numerous logistical issues involving signage, sponsorships and uniforms.(Snip)
Cleveland’s American League team has been called the Indians since 1915.

#1 Hits it. I don't care much for this PC renaming thing, but I can see why Indians would be upset being associated with the Cleveland baseball club. Hey, there's an idea, we can follow the template of our betters in DC area with ZERO imagination and Just call the The Cleveland Baseball Club. It should be illegal do anything different. :) (Removing tongue from cheek now...carry on)

In elementary school every other kid had the Indians logo on their jacket and got into countless playground arguments about who was the best player. I guess all thats gone now.
What will the new name be? The Cleveland Sissy Boys? The Purple Pantywaists? The Cleveland Wild Wenises?
I feel bad for the real Indians. They are being completely removed from American culture. What happens to non-people?

What about the Cleveland Browns? Brown is offensive to many. When the Washington Redskins changed their name tried to buy some memorabilia. Nothing.

The Cleveland baseball team, dropping the name Indian as their mascot reminds me of Stanford University Football team in Palo Alto, California. They were known as the Indians until 1972. My dad took me to several games in the late 50's and early 60's. We sit in the end zone for $1. Maybe the city can change the name to the Cardinals as Stanford did in 1972.

Since we’re selling out to the Chinese, let’s have a true communist name:
The People’s Revolutionary Baseball Team #2. Anyone who’s been to Cleveland will understand the choice of #2.

No names and no mascots for any team.
The Cleveland PC team sounds good. Along with the Washington PC Team change Pittsburg Steelers. I am offfend by the name. Pittsburgh PC team. Green Bay PC team.
And no more winner trophy’s. Every team gets a participation trophy. Just get rid of sports all together. Then no one will have any reason to complain.
Such idiots

Operating from memory here, but I recall the Cleveland team was called the spiders, but changed to Indians to honor a native american player on the team.

#12, they actually changed the name to Stanford Cardinal, as in the color. Guess they didn't want to offend any birds.

Who cares certainly not the cardboard cut outs sitting in the bleachers they won't protest the name change.
Cleveland Losers would be most fitting and that goes for all the teams.
I would like to protest about the team name New York Yankees. Yankees offend me being from the deep south. If being a Rebel is offensive then a Yankee should be also.
I want to know did the owner decide this, was a vote taken or did two idiots on social media propose this nonsense?

I like the nickname used in Cleveland for their baseball team, The Tribe. This is a term not specific to any group of "indigenous peoples" and is not a total sell out to their history. Sounds like a good compromise.

Because I have an LDotter friend in the Cleveland area, in his honor I have ordered a Cleveland Indians ballcap, replete with the beaming Indian symbol. It was the least I could do.

How about the Cleveland Stealers.
More cars are stolen out of their parking lot during the game than at any other stadium.
