Ohio state rep backs Trump's push for Guardians to change name back to Indians

President Donald Trump ramped up the pressure on the Cleveland Guardians and the Washington Commanders to change their team names back to the Indians and Redskins, respectively, on Sunday. Trump unleashed two social media posts imploring both teams to make the moves. While he threatened to put the Commanders' RFK Stadium deal in the balance, he said changing the names back was "common sense." Ohio state Republican Rep. Brian Lorenz appeared to agree with the president. "You don't mess with Chief Wahoo and expect Cleveland to forget," he wrote in a post on X. "The Cleveland Indians weren't just a team — they were summer nights, family memories, heartbreaks, and miracles. "We didn't change because fans asked — we changed because elites told us to. Time to bring back what made us us." Trump first wrote on Truth Social that there was a "big clamoring" for the Commanders to go back to being called the Redskins and the same with the Guardians. "The Washington 'Whatever's' should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this," he wrote. "Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past. "Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!" Later in the day, he ratcheted up the pressure. "My statement on the Washington Redskins has totally blown up, but only in a very positive way," he added. "I may put a restriction on them that if they don't change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins,' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, 'Washington Commanders,' I won't make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington. The Team would be much more valuable, and the Deal would be more exciting for everyone. "Cleveland should do the same with the Cleveland Indians. The Owner of the Cleveland Baseball Team, Matt Dolan, who is very political, has lost three Elections in a row because of that ridiculous name change," Trump added. "What he doesn't understand is that if he changed the name back to the Cleveland Indians, he might actually win an Election. Indians are being treated very unfairly. MAKE INDIANS GREAT AGAIN (MIGA)!" While Matt Dolan owns a minority stake in the Guardians, it was Paul Dolan who announced the change in 2021. Cleveland had been known as the Indians since 1915. Dolan previously said the decision to explore the name change came from "an awakening or epiphany" after the death of George Floyd. Cleveland was nicknamed the Blues in 1902, then the Napoleons and the Naps until 1915 when the organization changed the name to the Indians. The team was known as the Indians through the 2021 season. Guardians President Chris Antonetti responded to Trump's pressure on Sunday afternoon. He said it wasn't actually something the organization had on its mind. The team told Fox News Digital they had no further comment. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Your daily horoscope: July 19, 2025

You may be affectionate by nature but you can sometimes be too eager when it comes to forming new relationships. The message of your birthday chart is that you don't need to go looking for love – because the right partner will come looking for you. Someone you have feelings for is clearly determined to follow a course of action you know will end in tears but you won't dissuade them so don't waste your breath. Sometimes the only way to learn is the hard way, so let them get on with it. There is no point making a radical change in your own life when so many things are changing in the world around you. Sometimes the sensible course of action is to wait to see how events unfold and then react to your own advantage. You need to stop rushing around trying to respond to 10 different things at once and focus on a single aim instead. Between now and the sun's change of signs next Tuesday you will do best by restricting your actions, not expanding them. You may be tempted to quit what you are working on and start something new, and that may be a wise course of action, but don't change your focus just yet. What occurs next week will give you a more profitable range of options to choose from. Common sense should tell you that if an offer sounds too good to be true it most likely is, but common sense seems to be in short supply at the moment. Put off making a decision until after the sun moves into your sign early next week. If you are having doubts about a friendship or relationship you are strongly advised to keep those doubts to yourself for the time being. Maybe you are right, maybe it is time to call it a day, but you don't need to make that call yet. What you want and what you get over the next 48 hours will be two entirely different things, but later on you will be glad that your No. 1 wish wasn't granted, not least because an enforced change of focus leads to a wonderful new friendship. Your future is extremely bright, so why do you look so worried? Make it your one and only aim this weekend to build on the progress you have made over the past four weeks or so. Your talents have not gone unnoticed and will be rewarded. Try not to get dispirited about events over which you have no control. By the time the sun moves in your favuor again early next week the worries you feel now will have disappeared – and you can, if you wish, get over them right now. If what occurs this weekend is not to your liking then it is up to you to seize control of the situation and change the narrative. If you do nothing because you want a peaceful life then that peace will be shattered in a matter of days. The more others say you need to change your ways this weekend the more you will dig in your heels and refuse to budge. Your focus and self-belief are of course admirable but on this occasion it might pay you to be a little less stubborn. Someone you meet while out and about in the world will make a good impression on you this weekend but don't get too close to them because the planets indicate they will be on their way again soon. Just enjoy the friendship for what it is. Discover more about yourself at
