Louis Sockalexis, was a legendary American Baseball Player, in the MLB's earliest days...he was so good the Cleveland baseball team wanted to name their name after him, but the Sockalexis's didn't sound to sharp....so the Cleveland Indians were born and have been ever since. It's amazing the Politically Correct people are in many times MORE RACIST, than the people they claim to be defending...it doesn't take that much research to find out the Cleveland Indians were named to honor Native Americans. The name and symbol were meant to honor the player........even if it is a little goofy looking, but hey no one remembers that these days

I went to a Reds/Indians game in Cincinnati last year. given the direction of the teams there were probably more Tribe fans in the stands than Reds fans. Anyway, protesters were at the gates outside and anyone who entered the stadium in Indians gear were unmercifully heckled by the protesters. The thing I most remember was a kid about 5 years old walking in with his parents and one of the protesters yelled, "Hey kid, you know you're a racist!" to which his parents responded, leave him alone and then the war of words was on - it was pathetic.

Just like the Dems don't want a DACA solution, they want a DACA issue, so they can run on it forever.
