“I mean, what could be better? Especially if you have a good team, the Cleveland Indians, it’s one of the greatest names. One of the most incredible logos. People love it. They are going absolutely crazy in Ohio over the name change. The Cleveland Guardians, what’s that all about?​” he said.

“​The insanity of the left knows no bounds. And both Indians and baseball fan​s​ should be greatly insulted. They want to take away our history, our heritage, our culture, and everything that holds us together,” Trump added.

Something about having your ‘head’ in the wrong place.

Once they are done with the Olympics, they should play the last place men’s team to test their “equal work, equal pay” BS.

American is a state of mind.

Not proud of America? You are not American.

Not proud of American history? You are not American.

Not proud of what America stands for? You are not American.

Not proud of what the American flag stands for? You are not American.

Not proud of the American National Anthem? You are not American.

Wokeism taking precedence over the meaning of “American”? You are not American.

BLM and Antifa inspire you? You are absolutely not American.

Following the liberal left’s agenda towards socialism/communism? You are not American and you need to find a different country to move to.

You don’t feel proud to represent America in the Olympics? Then, most Americans despise what you represent.

President Trump is right, of course.

Take a good look at this picture. Note especially the woman standing about three people away from Racist Rapinoe.

“The team — known for some members’ protests against racism, including by kneeling during the National Anthem”

No, not quite - the protest is against the United States, its police, and its military.

People that hate the USA should not be representing us.

During his Arizona speech, Trump also doubled-down against the Cleveland Indians changing their name to the Cleveland Guardians.

“The Cleveland Indians will be changing their name, a name that was filled with history and memories. The new name will be the Cleveland Guardians, which is terrible​,” he told the crowd.

“If I were a [Native American], I’d sue,” the former president said.

The team was named after Louis Sockalexis, the first "Native American" to play major-league baseball. Taking away the Indians name is racist and offensive. Vast, large majorities of "Native Americans" not only say they're not offended by "Native American" team names, but are proud of them, but #woke whitefolk (progressives) decided that they, and not the group in question, get to decide what offends the group in question, rather than the members of that group. That is racist.

I guess the affected minority not being offended interferes with the #progressives #VirtueSignalling and their superiority complex. #Totalitarians don't like it when you stand up to them, whether they're Cubans, Haitians, Chinese, or woke white progressives.

And then, they cheaped out and kept half the names ("dians.")

The Guardians name honors four statues at the end of the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge (also known as the Hope Bridge), called the Guardians of Traffic. The bridge lets out just short of Progressive Field. But those statues are modelled on statues at the palaces of Assyrian kings, who were SLAVEHOLDERS. Typical of progressives to honor slaveholders. Birds of a feather.

Sadly, the Democrats' view of minorities hasn't changed ONE IOTA since the day the party was founded almost 200 years ago. All that has changed is the adoption of new tactics forced on them by Republicans taking their "property" from them -- and the color of the hoods. As Candace Owens says, "Liberals believe they own black people -- still." Native Americans too, apparently.

Typical.

Or else they thought they were celebrities and it went to their heads.

Same thing with men's basketball.

This is really Trump’s greatest value - putting his finger right on the sore spots that other politicians don’t even dare bring up. Even if he chooses never to hold office again, he can do his country an immense service by continuing to be the crank they can’t shut up. :)

“Earlier this week, [the women’s team] unexpectedly lost to Sweden, three to nothing, and Americans were happy about it​,” Trump told the crowd, who responded by cheering.

There’s something of a karma double-play going on here. Not only did the obnoxious and ultra-woke U.S. soccer team lose, they lost to Sweden. Sweden is the one country that went its own way with the pandemic and didn’t impose widespread lockdowns.

“Trump told a crowd during a campaign-style rally in Arkansas on Saturday night.”

Arkansas? How could the NY Post editors make this mistake? Shame on them.

He’s a brave man with truth on his side. While the nasty globalists snivel, having to play whack-a-mole all day with facts and common sense. I can’t imagine living the way of the latter.

Trump is right again.
What a great quote about how being woke ruins you.
Hope it goes viral.

Rapinoe should be tossed from the team no matter how good she is. She does not represent the USA.

Mainly, age contributed to the 3-0 loss to Sweden. Remember that Sweden is very good. They were the runners up in the last World Cup. They bounced the U.S. out of the last Olympics. They played the U.S. to a draw earlier this year. If Olympic or World Cup soccer was played NBANHLMLB style, best of seven, the U.S. would probably beat Sweden 4-2, but on any given day Sweden is perfectly capable of winning.

The issue with this U.S. team is age. The core group of players has been together for more than ten years. They have been a great group of players. They’ve won back to back World Cups (something which Germany also accomplished with a similarly dominant cohort of players).

But the team has fallen into the trap of sitting too long on a pat hand, and this group has now aged together. It’s starting to show. The U.S. will still dominate most opponents, but peer group teams — and there are only about half a dozen teams that can hope to play them evenly — are now poised to overtake them. Sweden made it look easy. That was probably an off-game for the U.S. but still, Sweden was finding space that wouldn’t have existed just a couple of years ago. Age hits the legs first. There will be wholesale changes in this U.S. team after this Olympics. They’ve been the oldest team in the field in every major tournament since 2015, and it’s now caught up with them.
