The Indianapolis Indians have decided they will not be changing their name and have instead formed a partnership with the Miami Nation Indians of Indiana.
There has been an effort in recent years to remove terms like “Indians” from sports team names due to its offensiveness to some.
Facing pressure to follow suit, the Indianapolis Indians rejected calls to do so and announced they will instead partner with a local tribe through several new programs.
“The partnership will include a land acknowledgement, recognition of Miami veterans during Native American Heritage Night at Victory Field, support of the Miami scholarship program and fan educational opportunities,” the MiLB team said in a Wednesday statement.
No no, I’m a white libtard woman in my 40’s. And I know what’s best for everybody. Change the name. What do the Indians know?!
