Cleveland's Major League Baseball team has decided to change its nickname, moving away from the 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.

They better come-up with a good name and not The Cleveland Baseball Club!
Soon...Columbus Day will be outlawed and if you say "Christopher Columbus"...you'll get arrested!

The Cleveland Losers.
Maybe that's redundant.

The Rockers or The 216ers should be the new nickname for the Cleveland Indians in my view.

I do want their name to be The Cleveland Spiders...that name has history.

Looking forward to the Parma Indians.

They should change their name to The Cleveland Redskins.
Also, I will never watch another Green Bay Packers game until they change their name. The term Packers is clearly racist against homosexuals!

Might as well call The Cleveland Indians "The Cleveland Steamers" or "The Cleveland Idiots" because of this trade...

Looks like the name "The Cleveland Indians" is a COMPLETE Failure!
