CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians are changing their name after 105 years.

Citing three people familiar with the decision, The New York Times reported Sunday night that the team is moving away from a name considered racist for decades. The Indians have been internally discussing a potential name change for months.

A team spokesman told The Associated Press the franchise has no immediate comment on the report.

The Times said the team could make a formal announcement later this week. It’s not known when the name change will take effect or if the team has settled on a new moniker.

They should change their name to the BIG BLACK MAMBA JAMBA FROM AFRICA.
There is no snow White rich elite 'activist' who would dare say a word.
(for themselves, they don't really give one shit about Black people, It is always about them)

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

The 'REAL' issue, IMO, was the cartoonish caricature of the team logo.  Large nose and buck teeth.



What's sad is the thousands of high schools across the nation that have adopted "Indians" into their athletic team names.

When will this insanity every cease?

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.
