My thought is why not reach out to the Indian tribes who have historical claims and heritage in the Cleveland area and try to create some kind of consensus with them so that rather than the name being potentially insulting, mocking, and offensive it becomes something that's celebrating and empowering to the identity of the Native Americans who feel vexed by losing their identity and seeing the rest of the country use it for a caricature.
It would be the smartest way in my view to appeal to both the traditionalists who want no change and the ardent progressives who demand total unilateral change.
Then again that would be a sensible compromise so it'll never happen.
