Donald Trump says Cleveland Indians name change is 'such a disgrace' and 'disrespectful' to Native Americans



Donald Trump has criticized the Cleveland Indians' decision to change their name to the Cleveland Guardians, calling it a "disgrace."

On Friday Trump released a statement saying, "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."

Trump said that the move was "disrespectful" to Native Americans. "I guarantee that the people who are most angry about it are the many Indians of our Country," he said.

The Major League Baseball club announced the name change on Friday through a video narrated by Tom Hanks.

There's always been Cleveland. That's the best part of our name," Tom Hanks said in the video.

"And now it's time to unite as one family, one community to build the next era for this team in this city, to keep watch, and guard what makes this game the greatest. To come together and welcome all who want to join us."

Club owner Paul Dolan said that the killing of George Floyd, and the protests that followed,  prompted him to change the name, according to AP.

The decision comes amid a wider cultural shift of institutions in the US ditching names and logos that are considered racist.
