Cleveland's MLB team talks name change from "Indians" to "Guardians" | LIVE
CA, 24 Jul 2021
Officials with Cleveland's Major League Baseball team, formerly known as the "Indians" are expected Friday to discuss the new name which they announced over Twitter earlier in the day: "Guardians."
The baseball club's announcement ended months of internal discussions triggered by what many considered as a national reckoning by institutions and teams to permanently drop logos and names considered racist.
The organization spent most of the past year whittling down a list of potential names that was at nearly 1,200 just over a month ago. But the process quickly accelerated and the club landed on Guardians.
