Cleveland's Major League Baseball team has decided to change its nickname, moving away from the Indians moniker it has employed for more than 100 years and that is considered insensitive to indigenous peoples, according to David Waldstein and Michael S. Schmidt of the New York Times. CBS Sports HQ's Jim Bowden has since confirmed Cleveland's plans. An announcement from the team could come as soon as this week, per the Times.

It's unclear how Cleveland will refer to itself during the upcoming season. One option is to keep the name for an additional year before then transitioning to a new identity; another is to go the route of the National Football League's Washington franchise, which dropped its own offensive nickname in July. The club has since been known as the Washington Football Team. Cleveland would, presumably, be called the Cleveland Baseball Team until a new nickname could be settled upon.

I liked a comment to call them the Cleveland Oranges with new logo being a brown baseball helmet

Old news, bruh. See the baseball thread.

All apologies to Travis, but I hate that Ohio (and Indiana) get in on the Great Lakes action. They are very undeserving.

Cleveland Great Lakers
Cleveland is situated on the shores of Lake Erie, which is a member in good standing of the Great Lakes. So Great Lakers. Also, the name implies that Cleveland is better than the Los Angeles Lakers, which is surely true.

Please show me where in my comment I said CB couldn’t post. All I said was it was old news. You’re exactly like Donald Trump, you either construct an alternate reality based on manufactured evidence or you straight up lie.

As head of the Co9, this is your first warning in the form of a public rebuke.

Nigel is the head of the Co9. Nice try, GreenWay.

They should go with the Cleveland Rocks. Then they could play this kickass song all the time.

Maybe he was the head, but not anymore. There’s a new sheriff in town, and his name is Reggie GreenWay.

A change is long overdue IMO, but this is the best they could do?

If it was my favorite team, I’d melt down less about the name and focus on the horrible logo. How does something like that get approved. the Cleveland Baseball team 502811600

Pitiful.

I like a couple of the logos, but it’s an overall lame name. Sounds like a Single A team, or maybe an Arena Football League team. Plus what are they guardians of in Cleveland? Isn’t that where rivers go to catch fire? Maybe they will be guardians of raw milk.

Oh, apparently they appointed themselves gods of busses or something way back in the day.
