Cleveland ready to discuss changing team name. MORE:
CLEVELAND — Amid new pressure sparked by a national movement to correct racial wrongdoings, the Cleveland Indians said they will review their long-debated nickname.
The move mirrors one by the NFL’s Washington Redskins, who earlier in the day said they are embarking on a “thorough review” of their name, which has been deemed as offensive by Native American groups for decades. In 2018, the Indians removed the contentious Chief Wahoo logo from their game jerseys and caps. The grinning, red-faced mascot, however, is still present on merchandise that can be purchased at Progressive Field and other team shops in Northeast Ohio.
