President Trump waded deeper into the culture wars roiling the US on Monday—defending the team names of the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians and slamming them for being “politically correct.” “They name teams out of STRENGTH, not weakness, but now the Washington Redskins & Cleveland Indians, two fabled sports franchises, look like they are going to be changing their names in order to be politically correct. Indians, like Elizabeth Warren, must be very angry right now!” Trump tweeted.(Snip) Nike appeared to have pulled Redskins merchandise off its website after FedEx publicly called on the franchise to change its name, putting increasing pressure

Don't get it. This is a slow pitch to the MSNBCNNPRESS to yell white supremacist as loud as they can. Won't affect "the base" who know better but the undecideds might swing if they get uncomfortable. Do we really want a Twitterarchy ?

If Redskin or Indian is a bad name, why have the teams called themselves that for over a 100 years?

Hmmm. I wonder how many geographic names will have to be changed because we wrongly appropriated Native American names just because we are racist scum. Probably half of the state names. County names. Rivers. National parks. Let's do it! Massachusetts. Michigan. Wisconsin. Minnesota. Iowa. Nebraska. The Dakotas. Utah. and on and on.

Just read they are thinking of Redtails. Turns out the Redtails were a bunch of Black airmen fighting to defend this country. Hummmm sounds familiar.

I could vote for Redtails. Sounds like someone with badly inflamed hemorrhoids.

I agree with PRESIDENT Trump. he names of tems are going to be changed because of PC. I happen to like the names.
As for the Indians, figures the owner and top brass would cave. they have no balls, and now you understand why the team loses. No uniformity. Stand up to these jerks. Indians are a great name for the team. I would think it would be an honor to have a baseball team named after Americans. If the name Indians is taken back, then the Indian tribes that own casino's should be shut down. After all, they promote gambling, drinking and other debauchery. And none of the casino's pay income tax. And after the Indians,m go get those Brown's I am offended by that name and calling people brown.
This is just all so stupid.

Give them time #13, they'll get there. Then I suppose the Super Bowl champion Kansas City "Chiefs", who play out of "Arrowhead" Stadium will be next up on the PC chopping block. Someone might get their delicate little feelings hurt.
This PC/SJW crap makes me sick.

The democrats have been trying to eradicate the American Indians for two hundred years. First they massacred them everywhere they found them. Then they herded them onto reservations where they were kept in abject poverty and their cultures and religions were replaced. Lately they have been removing their images and names from movies, products and teams. If the democrats have their way, in a generation nobody will remember or even know what an Indian was. Then come the blacks.

#7, red tails are also a type of hawk which is prevalent in the DC area. Just saying. I think changing the team names is stupid and self-defeating. The NFL already ran off half of their fans with the kneeling. Now this.

The Indians can change their name to the "Greater Cleveland Indians" - there I fixed it - you got a name change. Or, the "Akron is 37 miles from Cleveland Indians".

Redtails has a certain "spankin" thing about it Would they change the color of the football pants ? How about the Washington Whiny Little Snowflakes ? That could work. I can hear the commentary now.
" The Flakes are down by 21 so this field goal kick by their woke overpaid non-binary variously colored 16 year old kicker is critical !!!"

Washington Wimps accurately describes the team owners and management.
'Redskins' as I understand it, refers to the men of certain local tribes who, back in they day, would paint their bodies RED before a fight with another tribe. My understanding was these guys would paint themselves Red as part of getting 'fired up' for the fight, and it was NOT a good idea to mess with them!
I wonder... the Indians in what is now the Washington DC area, and the Indians in what is now the Cleveland area..... would EITHER of them Grovel to a bunch of Leftist Soy-Boys and Communist Agitators like the modern corporate money-grubbers are doing?
I would wager..... NO!

Pretty soon, there won't be a team anywhere (from pro's to Pee-Wee sports) that have any type of Indian-related name.
Then the Indians will be crying about how they are discriminated against because they are being ignored.
President Trump is 100% correct on this one. Redskins and Indians are very proud team names that play on how strong and fierce the Indians were as warriors. A bunch of panty-waisted snowflakes have no clue about what that means!!!!
