    Washington's new nickname is insulting to other real football teams.

    Serious question because I don't know, is Braves considered offensive. I have always took it to mean courageous.

    Chief Wahoo and the term "Redskin" were the problems. We're in overcorrection territory now.

    Serious answer... the word Braves isn't offensive. The cartoon-like depictions and branding is.
