The political correctness mob is now coming after professional baseball. This was on the horizon. When the lefty mob scalped the Washington Redskins, whose new name is unknown, this was bound to happen. If you give the Left an inch, they'll take several hundred miles. You cannot give an inch of land. The same applies to statues. This wasn't about Confederate statues, folks. Any person could see the long game here. The Confederacy was the flank march to move against the real target: The Founding Fathers. This nation's history is the target.
The Left wants to erase it—all of it. Any figure with a problematic past has to be wiped off the map. The "woke" ethos is unbearable. There's no nuance. By design, it's meant to wipe clean almost everything, to finally smear America as a racist country that has done untold harm to the world. And the Texas Rangers are part of that embodiment.
The op-ed in The Washington Post, written by Global Opinions editor Karen Attiah, declares the team name "must go" because of its sordid history:

This is why you never, ever apologize or acquiesce to the left for anything.
Pretty much done with sports of any flavor these days. Was at an event a friend was performing the other night and one of the screens above the ‘closed’ bar had some sort of mls (major league soccer?) on and all the trainers and coaches on the sidelines were attired in blm shirts with big fists on the back and large print on the front. I was thinking YGBKM! They can all phu-cough.
I thought this was a joke. No fucking way dear god. Lol the New York Rangers may be next
Wait for these prancing Nancy’s to go after the Army’s 75th Rangers.
‘This could go on forever.’
it won’t go on forever, but it sure will go on into the foreseeable future...read up on the latest changes in names for UTexas at Austin, and multiply that for as many colleges as there are, and you see the scope of the problem...
might as well face it, in the struggle for the cultural mind of America, the pitiless left has its knee on the right’s neck...
I think their end game is dead everybody, except, perhaps, themselves. They will temporarily spare temporary allies on their way to this goal.
I wasn’t sure if it was Native American or Mexican, not that it matters...They are probably also “offended”...
‘Idaho...’
huh...? I always heard that the state name came from a lazy farmer who said to his wife ‘if I’d a hoe, I’d plant some potatoes...’
Just your “handle” which includes “jets” is offensive to all the “Global Warming Experts”...;^)
I’ve put in a phone call to Walker. Stand by.
‘They will push as far as they are allowed to.’
from my vantage point, they are being grant huge allowance to do so...instead of ‘home of the brave’, we should say ‘land of the lock-down lovers...’
At this point I think most of us realize that we’re careening towards a 2nd Civil War and there’s little that can be done to stop it.
In fact, I don’t really care for the identifier “Native American”...I, myself, am part Tsalagi (Cherokee)...I just like the term “American”...
Taysha is the Caddo word for friend. The Spanish translation is tejas.
So no, not really.
Utah
I believe you’re right about that...
‘So an African like her is going dictate what Americans must do?’
get used to it; that is the model for the foreseeable future...
Of course...I missed that one...What about Oregon???
