After 106 years, Cleveland’s baseball team is set to change its identity.
According to a report from the New York Times, the Cleveland Indians will drop the nickname that has long been viewed as racist and insensitive to Native Americans.
The team had previously confirmed in July that it was prepared to discuss the possibility of changing the name, that just hours after Dan Snyder announced Washington’s NFL franchise would conduct a thorough review of the team’s name. Washington is playing the current NFL season as the Washington Football Team, a step Cleveland could mimic, according to the report.
