The Cleveland Indians said Friday it will consider changing its name amid civil unrest over systemic racism and police brutality.
“We are committed to making a positive impact in our community and embrace our responsibility to advance social justice and equality,” the team said in a statement Friday. “Our organization fully recognizes our team name is among the most visible ways in which we connect with the community.
“We have had ongoing discussions organizationally on these issues. The recent social unrest in our community and our country has only underscored the need for us to keep improving as an organization on issues of social justice,” it added. “With that in mind, we are committed to engaging our community and appropriate stakeholders to determine the best path forward with regard to our team name.”

At the end of all this chaotic statues/monuments/historic-figures issue, all of the maps of the U.S. will have to be redone, and 50% or more of streets and cities and states and buildings and events, will have to be renamed.
