MLB Team President Pushes Back on Trump’s Call to Revert to Previous Team Name

Date:

This week, Cleveland Guardians president Chris Antonetti pushed back against President Trump’s suggestion for the team’s name to be changed back to ‘Indians.’

On Sunday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that:

America-First Voices. Ad-Free Experience. Only for Members.

Trump posted this later in the day as well:

Antonetti responded to Trump’s proposal that, “I understand there are very different perspectives on the decision we made a few years ago, but it’s a decision we made and we’ve gotten the opportunity to build the brand as the Guardians over the last four years and we’re excited about the future that’s in front of us.”

Last year, at a campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio, Trump blasted the team’s 2021 name change and the Dolan family, who owns the team.

“I like sports and I like tradition. So you have a team called the Cleveland Indians. Indians. They’re Indians. And they took the team Cleveland Indians and made it to the Cleveland Guardians. Almost like they’re in charge of a trust fund,” Trump said at the time.
