Cleveland Indians fans are about to meet the political correctness police as Opening Day arrives. The ball club is banning headdresses and face paint that mimic Native American headdresses or face paint.
In fact, people can be ejected from or denied entrance to home games if they wear headdresses or face paint.

BOYCOTT.......................
“people can be ejected”
Oh yeah? And how many fans can the Indians afford to eject?
Americans really, really, really need to start practicing mass civil disobedience more often. It the quickest and surest way to reverse this madness. If everyone wears facepaint, the rule is instantly negated and there is nothing the woketards can do about it.
If I was a long-time fan of the Cleveland Indians, you couldn't get me into that ballpark at gunpoint.
I’m surprised they haven’t yet changed the franchise name and gone with The Cleveland Baseball Team, taking their cue from....

The Leftists have wanted to abolish bourgeoisie professional sports since Karl Marx was in diapers. These woke ball clubs are killing themselves
And just wait until they get rid of the “Washington” and call it “The Nation’s Capital Football Team”
The article points out that over 1/3 of Americans are eperiencing less of professional sports because of all the wokeness. The surprising aspect of that statistic is that it isn’t at least one standard deviation, or 2/3.
Ka-ching!!!!
Would I be kicked out if I wore a Chief Wahoo cap and tee shirt just as the fellow on the left is wearing? If not, why not?

I wouldn’t even go if they brought back 10-Cent Beer Night!

Hahahaha!
Would love to see a group of native Americans go to the games and paint their faces and record them being thrown out.
Professional sports has a little time to try to push a political agenda due to the high amounts of stored cash in the hands of millionaire owners. But not too long. A part of the game for the fans is their participation with an acceptance of a little “out there” appearance that they would not wear to work. It is escapism, not realism. Do you throw out the guys that take off their shirts and spell things on their chests because it might offend a nudist. Half the attendings of a raider’s game would be banned if orcs existed. Has anyone found many actual connections with mascots and teams. They are there for entertainment so the San Diego chicken, the gorilla, and every dancer that lifted their skirts up to kick are campy, but not connected to the sport or the team except by name, not actions.
At the rate sports is going, with the changes due to political needs going on, all teams for all sports will wear white and red jerseys, with numbers only, nothing supporting anything that can be aimed at any group or business that represents anything that is inconsistent with the many small groups in the country that feel they are being improperly presented.
And there goes a whole passle of sponsors and I don’t mean the Passle Marketing team. (See how easy it can happen?) And aren’t those NASCAR suits going to be blank and no more fences in minor league baseball going to present a boring experience.
Pro sports just doesn’t learn. A good article is a Sports Ill one here from a Steeler fan:
But some of it is not even revealed. Here is an excellent article from Out Sports that I feel is even worse:
The article mentions she is the best at what she does in the game. But two of the three reasons they used for not selecting here were for political reasons. Best of the best? Not hardly. And she did the right thing by not fighting back or even telling her side of the issue. She did her part based upon her beliefs even though she contributed to those using her discriminating of her religious beliefs for money. Real class the women’s “sock her” organizations.
