It’s looking increasingly like the Cleveland Indians major league baseball team may be called the Cleveland “something elses” in the near future.  Word that the team’s ownership will consider a name change for the more than 100-year-old franchise came over the weekend. The team has been under pressure to change it’s name for decades. Protesters with signs demanding a name change have been at  tribe home games since at least 1990 probably longer.  The name change consideration is taking place as major league baseball teams prepare for a shortened 2020 season that will be unlike any before, with games played without fans in the stands when they begin July 24^th.  The consideration is also taking place it seems in kind of a vacuum as Indians ownership considers the social significance of a name change with no way to gauge  what impact it will have on their bottom line if fans angered by any name change refuse to buy game tickets.That’s the way I see it.
