The modern-era Chief Wahoo is Pretty Racist. But the old one is Shockingly Racist. I know a number of guys with old logo cornhole boards, posters, etc and it's unbelievably clueless and stupid These people will cling to the Chief until they die

They want the good PR of changing the name, while also getting all the money from the pro-indians fans who will (hopefully, in the teams mind) spend even more money on merch this season knowing that it's going away. Then, once they actually change the name they get all the money from the non-shithead fans who are happy to buy new, not racist merch. They're going to have their cake, but they're going to eat it too.

I love that the framing is always that opposition to the white monetization of Native American imagery is ‘erasure.’ Not the actual genocide itself.

I'm whatever on changing the Braves name with the caveat than any new name better not suck. I'd rather erase those senators than the name of my sportsball team.

So if the new name sucked you'd rather keep the racist name?

My compromise is that the Braves can keep their dumb name if they stop the chop. Please reach me at my PO Box for further discussion.

The Braves could change their name and I suspect the fans would still chop.

Big fan of Cleveland Spiders or Walleyes. Guardians sounds lame but if those statues are a big thing and the people want it, sure. Re: Atlanta, is “braves” even accurate? I can’t imagine it was a blanket term used across all tribes/nations. It wouldn’t surprise me if the name was slapped on without regard for how applicable it was. Or maybe it was and, through moves, this is a Utah Jazz situation?

late 15th century: from French, from Italian bravo ‘bold’ or Spanish bravo ‘courageous, untamed, savage’, based on Latin barbarus (see barbarous).

The Braves thing goes back to Boston when the team’s owner was connected to the New York City political goon squad Tammany Hall, which used a Native headdress as one of its symbols and took its name from a local chief. So it’s even less connected to Atlanta or the franchise than you might think!

Dinosaurs! posted:Big fan of Cleveland Spiders or Walleyes. Guardians sounds lame but if those statues are a big thing and the people want it, sure. Wikipedia tells me that the Boston Braves were named that because the owner has part of the Tammany Hall political machine, which used an Native-American Chief s their symbol. So Braves were definitely meant as a generic term for Native-Americans by white people.

I feel like chiefs could probably be genercized enough to be all right, just get rid of all of the native American crap. braves though is unsalvageable. I still don't really understand what's going on with the Blackhawks butthey're dealings in these matters the last few years have been somewhat less than heroic

bawfuls posted:Trying to figure out why the owners are taking this stance, and all I can think is that they want a shorter season as an excuse to cut salaries again, since they know they can't fully open to fans at the start. All of a sudden the owners care deeply about public health and player safety? Yeah right.
