Really??

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:

When will people wake up and realize that the anarchists are going to be targeting and destroying EVEYTHING in our society. Talk about frogs in a pot of water. They are just starting, and they are unchecked. Don’t count on the GOP to save the country.
You know - “great minds ...”
They’ll cave.
No ... apparently vandals are the good guys lately. U of I is fine.
Ya know, Socialism/Marxism/Communism has been far, far more murderous than the Texas Rangers.
Exactly. They will push as far as they are allowed to.
The football team of a local Catholic High School near me has the nickname of “The Crusaders.”
I was wondering the other day how long it will be before angry woke people demand it be changed?
If G.W. Bush still owned the Rangers, he’d probably jump to comply, particularly if his best buds the Obamas weighed in.
Just think about how many states are named with “native American” words or names...
Alaska
Alabama
Mississippi
Arkansas
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Indiana
Illinois
Michigan
Ohio
Montana
Iowa
Idaho
Delaware
Kentucky...
Although I would agree with the WaPo op-ed writer that there are some bad things in the history of the Texas Rangers, that is also true for the democrat party. Until she starts saying that the democrat party needs to change its name for the sins of the past, I will call out the double standard.
Really??

Mob lives matter (so long as you let them RULE/RUIN your life)
CIVIIZATION
Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men. (mob, collective, gang, horde, government, etc.)
The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.
The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.

Add Texas.
Took Mrs rktman to one of their shows years ago. She had never heard them and was quite impressed. The ones in d.c. Not so much.
if baseball cares more about left winged trolls than law enforcement I will have to stop watching baseball forever. Baseball fans are white. If baseball does not know which side they are on. Forget them.
You can add Texas to that, it comes from the Indian word Tejas, which means friend.
So an African like her is going dictate what Americans must do?
ROTFL....
LOL...I stand corrected!
