The whole team name “controversy” has always struck me as utterly retarded. How is it insulting to name a team after braves or warriors or yes, even Redskins? Wouldn’t that be a tribute? A compliment?

I guess it’s all about “cultural appropriation” these days.

At this point, I’m just flat out embarrassed for the human species.

I’m sure they are equally upset by the Vikings.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan is on his own high-horse about this, too. This continues to happen every time that the Braves do something significant so that people might pay attention to what these ‘journalists’ write. Suddenly they stop being sportswriters and feel the need to be influencers.

Not that the behavior is actually that new in their industry.

Maybe like in old Fulton County Stadium, the Braves should be bring back the Tee Pee in left field, with Chief Knock-A-Homa inside drinking fire water and smoking peyote, who would come out and dance after each home run...

The Philadelphia Flyers are offending those who can’t afford to or may be on a no-fly list.

They could do like the former Redskins and become just the Atlanta team.

But, then, someone would complain about them using the name ‘Atlanta’.

Leftists have to have something to complain about. Doesn’t matter whether it is a city/street name, building name, statue, plaque, etc. The will find something to complain about.

Well, idiot, the reason that American Indian names are chosen is that they are considered a deadly and worthy foe. This is a long tradition and why we have had Navy ships named “Bon Homme Richard”. It’s why Army helicopters are named “Apache” and “Blackhawk.” Your opinion only exposes your abysmal ignorance.

They should just change the teams name from “Braves” to “Cowards”.

Ahhh.....they were complaining back in 1992 also. Deion Sanders showed up and brought some of the old school FSU mojo with him. The “chop” has been done for years at FSU. It sort of picked up and became a thing. I remember Jane wouldn’t do the chop - she had some alternative thing.

One of the Division playoff games we were intercepted by the local Atlanta news outside the stadium. They have maybe 8 protestors in a group as you walked up the concourse area outside, and a news crew was about 30 feet away. Im not kidding - it wasnt even 10 people.

We had been drinking since noon and were walking a bit slow, and the news crew stopped us and started asking us a few loaded questions. I forgot what they were but none of our answers were suitable for broadcast. Seeing us standing there with this crew, the group of protestors started chanting something.

The reporter chick with the microphone was actually really good looking and one of the guys in our group asked her if she wanted to meet us out later after the game. She must have gotted a kick out of that cause she lowered the microphone and started talking to him about where we would be going. The protestors kept chanting and making noise the longer we stood there.

Next day my uncle who lived in Atlanta told us he saw the news report that the Braves game was protested. We never got on TV, but not even a dozen people out of 10s of thousands.....I can’t believe it got the attention it did.

Hey Bob Nightengale, If the word, Braves, offends you, you should look up the “song” lyrics of this season’s NFL SB half time show “artists”.

Bob Nightengale is named after a bird. I’ll bet at least some birds might find that offensive. Except for cuckoos. Bob Cuckoo. I like it.

I remember Mike Tirico refusing to say “Redskins” on Monday Night Football a few years before they destroyed the team name. These people always get away with it. They wreck everything.

By the time every liberal of note can get rid of anything that offends them, we aren’t left with much. Look at art. Look at comedy. Look at the crap on TV. Look at commercials.

That’s what we have gotten for obeying political correctness religion since the beginning of the nineties.

Hmmm

And how about our racist national anthem? We’ll have to change it to: The land of the free and the home of the woke.”

Why is it “racist”? It’s almost like they don’t understand the meaning of the word. Truth is they do, and are using it as a cudgel against anything white people do.
