Echipa de baseball Cleveland Indians îşi schimbă numele pentru că este considerat rasistCunoscuţi cu acest nume de peste un secol, după ce l-au adoptat în 1915, Indians sunt sub presiune să-şi abandoneze numele, din partea grupurilor de influenţă amerindiană. Franciza a decis, în 2018, să renunţe la emblema care-l reprezintă pe Şeful Wahoo, o caricatură stereotipă a amerindienilor, pentru a răspunde criticilor, înainte de a lansa un studiu aprofundat asupra numelui său. Potrivit New York Times, echipa ar urma să anunţe, în această săptămână, schimbarea numelui, fără a specifica însă dacă această modificare va fi însoţită de prezentarea noii identităţi a clubului. Pe Twitter, preşedintele încă în funcţie, Donald Trump, nu a ezitat să critice această mişcare, estimând, duminică, „că nu este o veste bună, nici măcar pentru indieni”. Trei cluburi profesioniste poartă în continuare nume legate de amerindieni, Chicago Blackhawks (hochei), Atlanta Braves (baseball) şi Kansas City Chiefs (fotbal american).
