The Cleveland baseball team?


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.

I have always thought Chief Wahoo was the coolest mascot.

Steamers would seem like the logical choice.

Steamers would seem like the logical choice.

But would that offend those in the laundry business? Trains?

Guess they circled the wagons on this one. Decided there weren’t too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Trying to bury the hatchet now.
