You're not the only one here, I experienced something similar as well It happened to the Classical French as well, where it was relabled as the "Indian Game".
Hope Chess.com fixes this soon

At least the Classical French got relabeled to a respectable opening.

Maybe it's because @ChessHistoryRocks and I are in chess.com beta? And @KevinOSh isn't?

After doing this it will tell you it is the "Old Benoni Defense" which is absolute sophistry. As a Caro player, I am not sure if I should be offended or welcoming to the fact that one of the variations of one of my favorite defenses for black is being labeled as the Benoni. Thoughts? Does Chess.com hate Caro Players? Am I going insane at an accelerated rate now? Well the last one has already been decided, but the first two are still up for discussion.
Im offended as a avid old benoni player
