Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
07/22/21
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, and I guarantee that the people who are most angry about it are the many Indians of our Country. Wouldn’t it be an honor to have a team named the Cleveland Indians, and wouldn’t it be disrespectful to rip that name and logo off of those jerseys? The people of Cleveland cannot be thrilled and I, as a FORMER baseball fan, cannot believe things such as this are happening. A small group of people, with absolutely crazy ideas and policies, is forcing these changes to destroy our culture and heritage. At some point, the people will not take it anymore!

Done with baseball, done with football, done with women’s soccer.
About the only thing of his statement likely not to be true. The people (a VAST majority) will turtle up just like in 2020 when the next masking mandate is issued.
Guardians against what? A horde of Molson-swilling Canadians coming for our maple tree farms? LOL!
The Cleveland Indians were trailblazers—first AL team to get a black player
Blues song:
Hooray hooray the time has finally come
Cleveland’s got Larry Doby,
Brooklyn’s got Jackie Robinson
Many on twitter and facebook are blasting
the decision—now FORMER fans of
Cleveland baseball.
Woke decision.
To be fair... would you want your group name associated with the MLB losers of Cleveland?
Trump’s statement is more about the decimation of Americana and traditions by the Left than it is about standing up for a mediocre baseball team that hasn’t won since 1948.
Native Americans cancelled.
I still prefer the “Cleveland Engines”.
As Levin writes: “The counter-revolution to the American Revolution is in full force. And it can no longer be dismissed or ignored for it is devouring our society and culture, swirling around our everyday lives, and ubiquitous in our politics, schools, media, and entertainment.”
Can I still watch Major League with Charlie Sheen?...
Having that attitude is bad enough, but then feeling the need to voice it to discourage others is exactly what the problem is. You have both identified and embodied and are helping to perpetuate the current problem with posts like this
What about the YANKEES? You don’t need code words or dog whistles with Yankee. The name screams racist white oppression. How about the New York Buffalo Soldiers the Bronx BLMers?
Sorry meant that for crazy cat lady
I’m not understanding how your non-sequitur psychobabble is relevant to the succinct point I made.
You don’t have to be done with baseball and be done with football. Just be done with the NFL and MLB.
Start going to neighborhood baseball games or football games. Eventually someone will form groups to play other teams outside the neighborhood. The games are fun, no one needs a bunch of woksters lecturing us.
Guardians? As in someone who controls someone else? Might as well call themselves the Cleveland Slavemasters. /s
I'm part Native...and this crap is stupid.
