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.
First, no one has said this nation never had horrible and tragic periods of racial discrimination, hatred, and violence. And yet, we've progressed. A lot more work needs to be done, but this fetish with the Left and bringing up bad memories isn't meant to serve. It's meant to denigrate and force us into their sad and depressing view of America. And yet, people still want to come here for the very same reasons as an immigrant family who comes here the right way: opportunity. It's easy to become an American culturally. Our three major tenets are: work hard, defend what's yours, and love and protect your family. In fact, that's pretty universal among Western society.
The point is, you learn from history and not repeat it by talking about it and reminding one's society of its shortfalls but not by instituting a cultural ethos that prevents one from progressing because they're so obsessed with the very dark periods in 19th-century history. Changing a baseball team's name isn't going to erase the Texas Rangers. Also, you need to pick your battles. Do you go after real racists, maybe those running for office whose past remarks have been exposed or do you die on the hill that will certainly piss people off and make more folks roll their eyes—and rightfully so—by fighting to change a baseball team's name?

In naming something you have implied power over it. Adam did not name God, but God named Adam.
My official entry for the new name is.....
The Washington Wagonburners!
See how the two “W”s go together?
It just rolls off your tongue.
You cannot appease a bully. You can only beat the crap out of them, then they will leave you alone...............
all the leader of this crap need to be Doxxed.
To me the term “designated hitter” is unnecessarily violent in tone. Why can’t they call it something like “pitcher replacement person”?
Also they need to replace the terms “fair” and “foul” which are obviously a reference to lighter and darker skinned persons.
Walker, Texas Ranger is not amused.
“Left” field and “right” field are too political Maybe change it to port field and starboard field.
...and not one of the lefty mob has had the crap beaten out of him (or her). This won’t end until extreme force rains down on these bastards.
But we first have to get the police to ignore the hell raining down on them, just the way the police ignore the hell they rain down on us and all of our beautiful cities, landmarks, and heritage.
Many criminals NEVER stop unless incarcerated or eliminated. Where’s George $oro$? Hillaryous Rotten? etc., etc., etc.
“Doxing” is too mild. All Hell needs to rain down on them.
That’s funny, and very valid. Thanks!
How are you going to stop 30-40,000 Atlanta fans from doing the Tomahawk Chop...(whenever 30-40,000 will be allowed into the ball park)
I’m guessing the fans will start doing it right after the National Anthem
or do it during the black national anthem
Washington Whataburgers...would be great!!!
That starts with Doxxing and I agree with you!
The rangers thing was started by 1 Idiot columnist at the WasPos and that’s all it took to get this going.
“Shortstop” is obviously making fun of the vertically challenged and is blatant lookism.
Yankees isn’t offensive?
