Cleveland's baseball team announced it would be dropping its long-standing Indians moniker earlier today. The White House said it's supportive, but the move angered many Republicans.

It is only the latest step for the team, which has been gradually deemphasizing these elements on its uniforms and visual identity for several years. But it is the most significant step for the team since 2018 when it retired its mascot, Chief Wahoo, that it had used for decades. He said the team, which last won a World Series in 1948, was soiling their “storied and cherished baseball franchise” in changing the name they had used for over a century. He also claimed that few Native Americans objected to the team name.
