This is so racist. The Cleveland team was named the Indians because the first Native American to play MLB was an outfielder name Louis Sockalexis. They named the team the Indians to honor him.
Quoting: WhatsItAllAbout Alfie This is actually true. The name was suggested by a little girl fan 2 years after Sockalexis died of TB. There were quite a few Native Americans in baseball in the early 20th century, but I guess....fuck them, right? Why do we even nee to acknowledge ANY Native Americans? If we keep removing Indian names and associations from everything, soon we can forget ALL ABOUT THEM.
