The NFL's Washington Redskins and MLB's Cleveland Indians were forced to change their names to the Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians.
Many fans didn't like the change. Now, President Donald Trump is calling for the major league teams to revert to their original names "IMMEDIATELY."
The president is even noting that Native Americans are in favor of this.
Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday, “The Washington ‘Whatever’s’ should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this. Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past."
He cited native American support, "Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!”
In 2023, a Native American organization filed a federal lawsuit against the Washington Commanders.
The Native American Guardians Association (NAGA) claimed the NFL was suppressing Native American history, with a viral petition getting over 150,000 signatures to change the name back.
"Commanders is a fitting name for oppressors," the suit stated.
The complaint continued, "The name ‘Redskins’ carries deep cultural, historical, and emotional significance, honoring the bravery, resilience, and warrior spirit associated with Native American culture."
It added, of the former Redskins name, that team "the only team in the National Football League (NFL) to honor an actual Native American."
The name Redskins was adopted in 1933. Since 1972, their logo was a portrait of celebrated late Blackfoot Chief John Two Guns White Calf.
A 2016 poll revealed that 9 in 10 Native Americans weren't offended by the Redskins name, as reported by The Washington Post.
This might have been part of President Trump's thinking on noting Native American support.
He has a point. Why should white liberals be able to control everything? Is anyone else upset about the old names besides hyper-sensitive leftists?
Change the team names back. It's time.
