Washington Post Global Opinions editor Karen Attiah argued on Monday that the Texas Rangers as a team name "must go."
On the heels of the Washington Redskins retiring its name and mascot amid pressure from critics and corporate sponsors, an op-ed written by Attiah made the case that "to know the full history of the Texas Rangers is to understand that the team’s name is not so far off from being called the Texas Klansmen."
Growing up in Dallas, Attiah recalled going to Rangers games with her father as a child, but not realizing at the time that the Rangers "were a cruel, racist force when it came to the nonwhites who inhabited the beautiful and untamed Texas territory."

Sports history writers and readers of the future will have a hard time keeping up with all the name changes.
The books will be full of “footnotes” noting that the name of such and such teams until 2020 was *******s, and was changed to ***** in 2030, and again changed to ****s in 2040, and so on and so on.
This New Left is all about Deconstructing America and is on display in the open air near you. It's why the Democratic Party is so Fruity right now and so is the Media.
Wake up, smell the coffee.
She obviously knows nothing about the Comanche and their favorite forms of community outreach. :)

Her name rings a bell. This isn’t the only really dumb thing she’s said recently.
The New Left of 1968 were Maoists who said “kill your parents” and that includes a tract from the Black Panthers who are to this day praised by PBS.
One should ask her how many history and biography books she has read about the Texas Rangers. If none, or just one, she should apologize for being uninformed.
So aptly named, Karen is.
She needs to pray for brains.
OOOhhhh... That would be a good retort to those that cant understand that the lack of a father figure is directly linked to low academic achievement, drug use, poverty, etc. I am gonna steal that.

If the Texas Rangers were cruel, they can rename the team after the Comanches, the notoriously peaceful indigenous population, the Quakers among Native American tribes.
I really should have been born centuries earlier when civilization still existed.
