Simon Moya-Smith writes Cleveland shouldn't be praised for changing its team name to the Guardians.
Many school teams nationwide still use offense Native iconography and words, including "Savages."
Moya-Smith says the real work is in confronting hard-core fans who make excuses for racist names.
I was sitting at a local joint in north Denver on my third, or maybe fourth, coffee when news broke that the Cleveland Indians will at long last drop their evil, racist mascot and moniker.
"Hell yes," I screamed, sending a jolt of reverberating joy throughout the coffee shop.
