Washington and Cleveland are finally being forced to reckon with the racism of their team names, and Trump isn't happy about it.
When President Donald Trump starts tweeting, it’s hard for him to stop. He sent out his second sports tweet of the day on Monday, this time focusing on the possible name changes of the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians. Surprise! He’s not happy about it.
— Donald J. Trump July 6, 2020 Both Washington and Cleveland announced last week that they are considering changing their team names in light of the recent movement against systemic racism — one of the many societal ripples that have been felt since the murder of George Floyd in late May. That both teams are considering a name change only now, after years of outcry, feels disingenuous at best. But regardless of why each team might change their name, it’s still progress toward treating Native Americans like the human beings they are instead of mascots.
