Trump criticizes Cleveland Indians name change

[signalmankenneth]

If he is upset about this name change, wait till they rename the army posts named after confederate generals?!!

Former President Trump criticized the Cleveland Indians' decision to change the baseball franchise's name to the Guardians, saying "many Indians" will likely be upset by the decision.

"Can anybody believe that the Cleveland Indians, a storied and cherished baseball franchise since taking the name in 1915, are changing their name to the Guardians? Such a disgrace," Trump said

Friday.

"And I guarantee that the people who are most angry about it are the many Indians of our Country," Trump added.

I guess the Notre Dame fighting Irish LEPERCHAUN isn't being canceled.

Because Irish people hardly care.

Of course Irish were born with privileged skin color.

What a JOKE the Left is of today.

Capitalism led to the Indians changing their names.

Of course he does, it is an easy "issue" to demogogue, fits nicely into the cancel culture rhetoric, doesn't say anything of his followers in Red States disproportionately catching and dying from Covid, but having a say on a sports team changing their name is right up his alley

To summarize: Who gives a shit?

You're of Native American decent. Anecdotal of course but what's you or your family's thoughts on sports teams names such as the Redskins, Indians, Chiefs etc.? (Or others in the NA community that you may speak to about this)

Anecdotal for sure. I am only 1/4 Native American. Of course folks can tell from my posting that I’m against such woke changes. More anecdotal info … Our mascot at the school where I teach is the Savage. About 70% of our kids are of Native American descent. The one time it was mentioned by some poor unsuspecting person that we might ought to change the mascot there was a Native American uprising. The board room was full to overflowing at that meeting. We are still the Savages.

I am native American. If find it insulting for them to change their name to be politically correct.

Simple. but accurate. acid test I like for anyone who criticize the abondoning of Native American sports nicknames, would you go up to a person on the street you recognized as a Native American and openly address them as "redskin?" For example, "hey redskin, which was is the ballpark?"
