YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Pressure has been buidling for years to change the name of the Cleveland Indians. The call for change is all part of the national movement to get institutions and teams to drop names that are considered racist.

You may recall that in 2016, Cleveland dropped the iconic Chief Wahoo from all uniforms and merchandise and listening to the Dan Rivers show this morning, it's easy to see that change is going to be hard.

"I don't like the name change, I don't like why they are changing their name, I don't understand it," said Jerry, who called in to Dan Rivers show on 570 WKBN.

"I don't like it at all, I don't like the change, I mean it's history with the Indians, said caller Tony. "I mean what's next, Notre Dame Irish, do we drop the Irish, does Ursaline drop the Irish."

Meanwhile, caller Jerry is taking this approach.

"So long as the Guardians are successful, we're gonna forget about the name change, but they got to be successful."

White Eagle, a full blooded Cherokee Indian who was not offended with the Indians nickname, likes the change.

"A lot of people don't realize it, but the American Indians, we were called the guardians of Mother Eart by the Great Spirit, so in essence they are still using us," said White Eagle.

Yet and still, this passionate fan base will always hold Chief Wahoo and the Indians close to their hearts.

"It doesn't make sense, it doesn't go with baseball," said Arnold Stone.

"I think we have taken name changes of things a bit to far, you know, I'll miss the Indians, Guardians is fine too," said Cammy Ricketts. "I think we'll probably get used to it, but I just don't think it was necessary."
