Woke or joke?: White House visit sparks woke Atlanta BRAVES names change talk

Lol, that's what they get for beating us. Scalped of their name.

 

Atlanta Scalpers

 

the left wants to abolish all non-white mascots

 

i just listened to that whole clip and i didnt hear the white house calling for the atlanta braves to change their name.

 

I watched the clip and didn't hear a damn thing about changing the name

Just some classic boilerplate nonspeak

 

Even the reporter who asked the question seemed embarrassed to be asking it

 

thread premise is fake news, but ill try to steer this thread into some kind of actual discussion...

im saying this as a middle aged white guy and not native american...but i dont see "braves" as an offensive term like "redskins" or even "indians" (and especially that logo). brave is just another word for "warrior". in that respect its not that different than "cowboy". i guess you could accuse them of cultural appropriation, but again i dont see it as an offensive or racist name.

its crazy that it took as long as it did for redskins to change their name.

also, i thought it was stupid that the washington bullets changed their name! and even more stupid that they changed it to "wizards".

 

DC folks were generally OK with ditching Redskins but they mostly agree that it was Hella dumb to ditch Bullets.

The sad part about the Redskins is while the name was pretty icky the logo was bad ass. There's nothing wrong with respectful American Indian symbolism or names in sports. It's one of the few ways that entire culture endures.

 

Trust me when I say that this click bait headline
will be spammed on my Facebook news feed multiple times today with commentary about how woke culture is ruining everything.

 

They should get rid of the chop and drum.

 

I didn't hear anything about the WH wanting to change the name.

 

First you complain that the left wants to get rid of white people in entertainment. Now you complain the left wants to get rid of non-white people.

Make up your mind.

 

Wth is this fake news thread? The title and the video do not match up. C’mon

 

your thread title said "white house wants atlanta braves names changed" and then you posted a video where the white house press secretary made no mention of the white house wanting the name changed.

you fooled me once so im not going to waste my time listening to another video you posted. where exactly in this second video does the white house say they want the name changed?

 

@tinman lookin pretty rusty posting all this fake news
