• Donald Trump says move is cancel culture at work'

Cleveland's baseball team will drop Indians" from their name, according to multiple reports, in a move president Donald Trump dismissed as cancel culture at work".

Native American groups and some sections of the team's fanbase have argued the name is racially insensitive for years. The move, which was first reported by the New York Times and later confirmed by ESPN, is likely to be formally announced in the coming days.
