The last club in the series is the Cleveland Indians baseball club, which according to the New York Times will now remove “Indians” from the team name. AP writes that the change will take place after the 2021 season ends.
The baseball club has previously removed the use of the Chief Wahoo logo, which many have thought was racist.
The decision comes after several years of protests by fanatics and indigenous people. The club has had its name since 1915, but it has been the subject of long-standing criticism.
The club’s name and logo have been deemed racist and offensive to Native Americans.

Trump responds
Recently, several other American clubs in various sports have replaced names, logos, and mascots that are considered offensive to the Native American population.
The fact that clubs are moving away from such names is celebrated in many circles, but in the White House name changes are perceived differently.
President Donald Trump reacted on Twitter last night Norwegian time.
– Oh no! What happens? This is not good news, not even for “Indians,” Trump tweeted.
Not only
The debate over the names of offensive clubs in the United States began in the wake of the rise of the Black Lives Matters movement. In July, the NFL team dropped the Washington Redskins moniker and is currently only called the Washington Football Team.
Now it seems that the Cleveland Indians are also changing the name of the team and thus two of the clubs that have received the most criticism have changed names in the last year.
Other clubs like the Chicago Blackhawks and the Kansas City Chiefs have not chosen to take action despite external pressure.
The Cleveland baseball club has yet to announce a new team name, but it is expected to arrive shortly. In any event, the club will use the “Indian” name and suits in the 2021 season, while preparing a change before the 2022 season.
