Atlanta Braves not considering name change after Cleveland, Washington begin discussions

The Cleveland Indians may be considering changing their name, but the Atlanta Braves — at least for now — are content with staying put.

The Indians announced on Friday night that the team was already having internal discussions about a possible name change — which came just hours after Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder announced they were conducting a review of the team’s name following severe backlash over the use of what is widely considered to be a racial slur.

The Braves, though, gave no indication that they were considering making a similar change, according to the Associated Press.
