CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians won their last home game before becoming the Guardians, beating the Kansas City Royals 8-3 on Monday to close a run that started in 1915 and will continue next season with a new identity.
The home finale was the club’s final game in Cleveland as the Indians, ending a 106-year run in a city where the name will forever be attached to those of legendary players like Bob Feller, Larry Doby and Jim Thome.
But now the Indians are a memory, just not yet faded or distant.

At least my Royals remain the Royals.
I would rather Cleveland went the Washington route and simply call their team "Cleveland Baseball Club". But the difference is that Washington was forced to drop the Redskins while Cleveland is supporting the name change.

Browns are a good name for the football team. They are always in the toilet in their division,
Check the standings.

Pretty interesting...and I'm part American Native....and I've no problem with them leaving the name alone. I'm Indian...
Spent a day in Cherokee last week down in NC. The word “Indian” is everywhere and on nearly everything

Just to be ear, ownership is supporting the name change. It isn’t popular among most fans of the team.

Our Kansas City Royals were named after a long running livestock show, called the American Royal. This was where the FFA was formed. And the Chiefs were named after a popular Kansas City mayor who was instrumental in getting the Dallas Texans to move here. He was called Chief (like Perry White).

There was a team called the Cleveland Crusaders in the 1970s in the World Hockey Association.
I’m sure such a name would be verboten in today’s politically correct world.

Packers are offensive to homosexuals? Depends on what they're packing.

Good stories. Let’s hope they hold up when woke forces look into this.
One thing in your favor is they’re the truth, which is supposed to help.
Your city might consider “The Working Families” and “Proletariat” or maybe “The People’s Revolutionaries.” Just a thought.

Just to be ear, ownership is supporting the name change. That was my understanding as well. Sad.
