From ESPN:

Sources confirm the New York Times report that the Cleveland Indians will be dropping their nickname. While it's unclear what they will replace it with, the Indians -- who have been called that for more than a century and nearly 17,000 games -- will be no more.

There's millions of dollars to hand out to stupid marketing people who may or may not be kin to ownership to come up with a worse name, and by God they will

The Cleveland Land Cleavers. What's a land cleaver? I don't know (actually, probably just a plough) but it sounds like it could gently caress you up.

The Forest City Fiddlebacks. Because 1)it sounds ridiculous and 2) it would cause endless agony and grief to those who wanted to be called the Spiders, but they'll begrudgingly come to love it.

Only in the 1899 season when the owners raided anyone remotely good and put them on St. Louis. Before then they were respectable.
