[Concerned American]

The Atlanta Scalpers.

They have those outside of every sports venue in America. LMAO.

those Indians should Sioux them.

I'm so angry at this I could Slapahoe.

Careful, Homeland security will think you are threatening Kameltoe.

Once all of the Native American nicknames are removed from sports teams, then there will be a movement because Native Americans are not represented. Look, the cartoon logo in Cleveland (Indians) and the Redskin nickname arguably needed to go. But, honoring Native Americans could have stayed in place with modifications; most importantly, input from Native American groups. Nothing wrong with the Atlanta Braves.

What’s an example of a good way to pay homage to native Americans? We all know Native Americans weren’t Indians, so I can see why people would abject to that name. Red skin is or isn’t a slur depending on who you ask.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

It should be no news from the White House.

true but hard to get too triggered by an off the cuff comment from the Press Sec

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

They should change the name from Braves to the Pussies to reflect the whitebread democrat men who demand the name change.

The age of wokeness continues. The Left will not be satisfied until they remove Native American nicknames from sports teams.

They’re not native Americans. They’re indigenous tribes. I’m a Native American as I was born and have lived here in America as an American.

The indigenous people of the US today are native Americans as well.

Jealously is such an ugly thing.

Original Gatorade absolutely did suck - do they even make it anymore?
The newer flavors are far more palatable.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

So is the term "Braves" really offensive to native-Americans?

 

[JOSweetHeart]

Why is a team name so important in the first place? To me, what should matter more is if each player is any good.

God bless you always!!!

/———/ Well, since everything is under control, Joe has time to focus on social injustices.
Change the team name to the Atlanta Pale Faces.

Not really. They’re heritage in this hemisphere predates the term America. As Americans they are native Americans but not exclusively as the label implies.

would you wanna play for the Cincinnati shitheads?
the carolina cockgobbler?
the Florida fuck tarts?

I was just pointing out that it is semantics. If you, by virtue of birth in the US are a native American, then they, for the same reasons, are native Americans as well. I liken it to the same arguments that we hear from the black population that they are victims of slavery. In short, I agree with your assertion that "indigenous peoples" predate America--but those people are gone. It is all just so much noise. People are people and if we all treat each other fairly, everyone gains.

 

[Resnic]

How come normally the only people who want names changed, history of non whites changed or eliminated, and all that other non sense are all white people?

Yeah. Let's all just make everything in America inoffensive, bland, generic, boring and sterile.

In 60 seconds aqua teen hunger force wraps it up nicely.

Just another D.C. manufactured crisis. Wonder what they’ll come up with next

In the Long Run, It Won't Run Long


After the coming EV ecobuggy flop, the San Diego Chargers will have to change their name because of its association with stranded cars.

The left wants to remove ALL references to non-white people from the public sphere.
