Cleveland's baseball team has finally made the decision to change its racist nickname, according to a report in the New York Times. The nickname has been in use since 1915.
The long-overdue news comes after decades of protest led by Native American groups. Cleveland's decision may have been made somewhat easier after Washington's NFL team stopped using a racist slur as a nickname. Also, this past summer, much of the US was forced to take a much clearer look at the country's systemic racism.
Cleveland may officially announce its plans as soon as this week.
