While the Democrats are busy trying to teach President Joe Biden how to properly speak at press conferences, cancel culture is busy digging itself into America’s history for any little thing that they may find offensive. Apparently, cancel culture are really big baseball fans as they have attacked the Cleveland Indians for not only their name but their mascot as well. Finding both the term and image offensive, the left has petitioned to have the logo removed and the team renamed. Sadly, they got their wish on Friday when the team announced they would no longer be the Indians but the Cleveland Guardians. Caving to cancel culture, former President Donald Trump issued a statement blasting 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, 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? Trump added, “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!”
Hoping to appeal to a larger audience to help their dismal attendance, Indians owner and chairman Paul Dolan released a statement. “Cleveland has and always will be the most important part of our identity. Therefore, we wanted a name that strongly represents the pride, resiliency and loyalty of Clevelanders. ‘Guardians’ reflects those attributes that define us while drawing on the iconic Guardians of Traffic just outside the ballpark on the Hope Memorial Bridge. It brings to life the pride Clevelanders take in our city and the way we fight together for all who choose to be part of the Cleveland baseball family. While ‘Indians’ will always be a part of our history, our new name will help unify our fans and city as we are all Cleveland Guardians.”

It should be noted that the new name will be the team’s fifth in its history. The last time the name was changed was over a century ago. Still, Dolan said, “While we recognize many of our fans have a longstanding attachment to Chief Wahoo, I’m ultimately in agreement with Commissioner Manfred’s desire to remove the logo from our uniforms in 2019.”
