Austin area libs never let an imagined offense pass them by.

No friends but she’s asking for birthday donations to the ACLU. Sad.

You name a team what you name it because there is something about what you named it after that you admire and want to be and have for yourself, whether it’s Tigers or Eagles or Braves or whatever.

What does she have against the native Americans? The Comanche and Apache ruled the area of Austin and Round Rock for centuries. What a racist!

They call the likes of Bruce Kaitlyn Jenner "brave".

Abbott is all out against the Austin mayor with his allowing the homeless to camp and poo anywhere just like SF.

Let it be known to Native American artists that it’s offensive for their works to be displayed in white privilege homes and businesses and see what happens.

Sam Bass! Growing a bunch of little outlaws who will die young is closer than you think.

It’s also an interesting school name (”Double File Trail Elementary School”) in that it doesn’t honor a person or some local feature, but a trail wide enough for two people abreast. I suppose the “Double File” name also respects Indian trails from centuries ago, so if “Braves” has to go, then shouldn’t “Double File” have to go, too?

They could rename the place the “Bland Gray Generics.”

I once hiked the entire width of the Appalachian Trail.

Glad to hear for sure. But, wondering if he (Abbott) has any authority to put a stop to it?

So that’s Round Rock in Texas, where the city Indians live.

Here’s Round Rock in Arizona, where the country Indians live:

County: Apache District: Red Mesa

School: Round Rock Elementary Mascot: Braves (Hmmmm)

School: Red Mesa HS Mascot: Redskins

So, lighten up while you still can.

Reminds me of the guy who changed his name
from Elmer Eatsadick to Lester Eatsadick.

They’re changing the wrong thing. What kind
of a name is Double File?

Oh, hell no. I was raised around Apache and Navajo kids, so realized early why they are called warrior tribes.

N.B.: Apache girls are often honey badgers in human form.
