Owner Paul Dolan announced this week that the team is dropping “Indians” and looking for a new team name starting in 2022. "We gained a deep understanding of how tribal communities feel about the team and the detrimental effects is has on them,” Dolan said in a statement this week.

The Indians confirmed Monday that the team will drop their nickname after more than 100 years. But that won't be happening until at least 2022. For now, the team is facing deep budget cuts that likely include saying farewell to their star player.
