Louis Sockalexis: Cleveland baseball all-star

Once upon a time they were the Cleveland Spiders. Then along came Louis Sockalexis, a Penobscot Indian, who became the star of the team in the 1890s. He died in 1913, but fans still loved him and the name of the team was changed: all hail the Cleveland Indians (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/07/meet-indian-slugger-liberals-insulted-forced-cleveland-indians/)!

For a hundred years they were the Indians. Bob Feller! Larry Doby! Lou Boudreau! The list could go on for quite a ways. But no: a few years ago, they changed it to “Cleveland Guardians.” [Barf bag break] Because somehow it was disrespectful to native Americans to honor them and memorialize their achievements. Honk if that makes sense to you.

President Trump says “MAKE THE INDIANS GREAT AGAIN.” And the former Washington Redskins football team, while we’re at it. It’s always hard to know when he’s just jerking liberals’ chains.

Anyway, there is a movement to restore the Indians’ name. We’ll see what comes of it.

NOTE: Jonathan Jones, author of the column referenced above, is a native American who finds the condescension and the name-changing equally revolting.

Are we allowed to remember Bob Feller?

Well, here we are again, letting wokies walk all over us and shove their America-hating garbage culture down our throats. Why do we let them do it?

As of the end of this baseball season (and who’s paying attention to it?), there will be no more Cleveland Indians. They will be renamed “the Guardians.” As in Manchester Guardian, a far-left noozepaper.

And now it’s catching on all throughout professional sports. Eager to outdo Cleveland, the Cincinnati Reds will be renamed the Cincinnati Birthing Units. It was going to be Cincinnati Parents, but a commissar rejected that as “not inclusive enough.”

Said club president Roscoe Ringworm, “The American people are only a nation of toddlers at best. They need us to take care of them–and that’s what Birthing Units do.”

Not to be outdone by teams in Ohio, the San Francisco Giants have announced plans to change their name to the San Francisco Things. The Giants’ All-Star utility infielder, Greg Pfart, explained, “‘Things’ can mean anything! It doesn’t get more inclusive than that!”

Ah–but it does, according to the team long known as the New York Yankees but about to be renamed “the Nothings.” Said General Manager Ike Schmendrick, “The word ‘Nothing,’ by excluding everything, automatically includes everything!” Mr. Schmendrick went to college once and never got over it.

Do you ever get the impression that Far Left Crazy just wants everyone to disappear?
