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!The NFL's Redskins announced Friday that they had begun a “thorough review” of their name, which has been deemed offensive by Native American groups for decades.
“We are committed to making a positive impact in our community and embrace our responsibility to advance social justice and equality,” the team said in a statement. Cleveland All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor is also in favour of the Indians changing their nickname, which they've had since 1915.
