Ahead of the 2022 Major League Baseball (MLB) season, the Cleveland Indians announced that the team would henceforth be known as the Cleveland Guardians. This move came as a result of increasing pressure from fans and sponsor to replace the original Native American-based name. During a July 2021 survey in the United States, 37 percent of respondents approved of the franchise's decision to change its name following the current season.
