Don’t let the emergence of the #ClevelandGuardians distract you from the tens of thousands of people acting a fool in Atlanta with that ridiculous “chop.” It’s not over anywhere until it’s over everywhere. #AtlantaBraves#NotYourMascot
Celebrating the multi-faceted heritage, history, and hope of Indigenous peoples.
Indigenous peoples are not the past.
They are living, powerful, and loving today.
Elders, children, activists, teachers, leaders, community, and so many among the missing.
#IndigenousPeoplesDay
@DeChiefWahoo @Indians The time will be missed, because of all the great, and heartbreaking, memories.
But none of them were ever about the name of the team. Just the city and the game.
Let’s go, #Guardians!!
Feels good to know that the next time my favorite baseball team plays at home, they’ll do so without ridiculous, hurtful stereotypes splashed across their chest. #Guardians
@NoSwainNoGain @Indians You mean to tell me Mr. “Balding overweight camo cargo shorts guy” might be *gasp* a racist? Why I never!
I can smell the unrealized exceptionalism from here.
I will donate $20 to the American Indian College Fund for every “I’m done rootting for Cleveland” chucklehead @Indians hits with the Powers Boothe “Well...bye” gif.
I don't speak for all Native people ... but I can say in my direct experience of interviewing and interacting with so many Native people, I am comfortable in saying that a vast majority welcome the change.
I welcome the new team Cleveland Guardians.
Native youth have the highest rates of suicide in the U.S. I can't help but enthusiastically applaud when such changes take place as Native mascots going away.
