The Cleveland Indians have decided to change their name. According to the New York Times, Cleveland is removing “Indians” from its moniker. The Major League Baseball team has employed the nickname for more than 100 years but it is considered insensitive to indigenous people. This move follows years of protests from Native American groups.

Cleveland started to distance itself from the Chief Wahoo logo more than two years ago. This move continues in the direction of sports teams stopping the use of Native American names and imagery. At this time It's unclear how Cleveland will refer to itself during the upcoming season. They could follow Washington Football team’s route, who dropped their name back in July or they may wait a year to transition away from the nickname. The New York Times is reporting an announcement from the team could come as soon as this week.
