For the last 65 years, Monroe Charter Township has sponsored the Custer Ball program. This is a children's baseball/softball program.

This children's program is named for a man who graduated last in his class of 34 cadets at West Point and racked up one of the worst records of personal conduct ever accumulated at the military academy. He violated treaties forged in sacred trust between the U.S. government and indigenous tribes, and he led a ruthless attack on a Cheyenne village, killing several women and children.

He refused to listen to others, believing that his judgment was superior...
He was arrogant...
He wasn't entirely focused on the job at hand...
He used women and children as human shields...

If you agree that the children's baseball/softball program should have a different name, please sign this petition. Our children deserve to have a better representation in their sports programs. 

Several sports teams have been changed throughout the country. I.e., Washington Redskins & the Cleveland Indians.
