US-President Donald Trump has been critical of possible name changes for large sports teams in the wake of the racism debate. The Washington Redskins football team and the Cleveland Indians baseball team are considering separating from their previous names.
Trump wrote on Twitter on Monday that you name teams based on a strength and not a weakness. Now it looks like the Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Indians are changing their names to act politically correct.
The Redskins (redskins) have been under pressure from the discussion since the death of African American George Floyd, including their main sponsor FedEx, and have been open to a name debate.
Coach Ron Rivera said in the Washington Post over the weekend that a new name before the start of the new season would be great. The Cleveland Indians, who had been known since 1915, had said they wanted to encourage the environment and the people involved to find the best way to go about their team name.
