The Arizona Cardinals faced criticism on social media on Monday as it wished its followers a happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day as others celebrated Columbus Day. Katie Hobbs said last year she would support a bill to rename the holiday Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Tempe and Phoenix are two of the cities in Arizona that established Indigenous Peoples’ Day as a paid holiday, according to KOLD-TV. "Recognizing and celebrating Indigenous peoples’ resilience, strength and contributions," the Cardinals, who play in Glendale, wrote on X. President Biden became the first president in 2021 to formally recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day on the same holiday.
