And Texans are going to follow the advice of some soy boy scribe from $#*+cago?
The term “rangers” is racist..what next, black stool is now racist
Not until there is significant pushback and/or monetary consequences.
Well, it must have been a step above their original nickname in Washington when they were known as the Senators, lol.
Yil someone says eff you we don’t care.
New name: The Texas Kemosabes?
I kind of doubt they are facing any actual pressure from fans who buy tickets or watch the broadcasts.
One Riot, One Ranger
Hahaha hahahahaha
If management and ownership weakens and gives in, perhaps they might have a public fan contest for a new name. I would suggest “PCP, or Politically Correct Pussies”.
So in addition to Indian nicknames, now others are on the chopping block, for offending the politically correct crowd.
We need to change many other names too, with this reasoning.
Milwaukee Brewers is offensive to real beer brewers.
Pittsburgh Steelers is offensive to real steel workers.
Dallas Cowboys is offensive to real cowboys.
Boston Celtics is an ethnic slur against the Celtic people.
Fighting Irish of Notre Dame is similarly an ethnic slur.
New Orleans Saints, LA Angels, and San Diego Padres are offensive to the Catholic Church.
New England Patriots and Philadelphia 76ers harken back to the American Revolution, which cannot be permitted in today’s politically correct culture.
All the animal team names are offensive to PETA.
You won’t be allowed to have any nickname for a sports team. They will just have to be identified by whatever city or region they play in.
But then, some names will have to change based on the city name changing. Columbus Blue Jackets of the NHL come to mind, as the city needs to change its name.
Ditto Washington Nationals. Washington Redskins is doubly offensive. So they will become nameless.
They need a second opinion. Maybe a visit to jellystone park to interview Yogi for his political/racial view of Rangers.
Who the hell is this ChiCongo person Chapman anyway?
What is rasciss about the term ‘Ranger’?
Why does Chapman think Hispanics consider ‘Ranger’ an affront?
Like was tough in the 1800s. One’s day was filled with all the tasks that were required to survive. Farms and ranches needed tending, tack needed repair, all sort of things filled up each and every day. Crap like we are seeing today was not tolerated back then; no time for it. Miscreants were dealt with swiftly, usually with tar and feathers or a rope and tree.
It really is too bad that many of the looters we see almost daily on TV do not have a date with a rope in their near future.
Whatever supposed evil can be applied to the Rangers, can easily be applied to the Democrat Party.
Let’s be frank here, Texas needs to break away from the rest of the nation! It doesn’t work anymore... as long as you’ve got these nasty evil liberal cancerous states it will never work..the damage has been done!!
I take great offense that someone from the North has anything derogatory to say about anything historic in Texas. The Rangers got the job done that needed to be done to protect the people of Texas. There is a true saying that it only took one Ranger to take care of a riot. Read the account about Borger, Texas. We still have a unique law group who are Texas Rangers. We may need to have them show the law forces of today how it’s done with the snowflakes out there. There sure wouldn’t be all this burning down of cities and destroying our historical USA sites.
Next the New York YANKEES! Can’t have the other half of the Civil War represented, now, can we?
I read a lot o Louis L’amour books. I think the Texas Rangers have an awesome history.
