Do you think Atlanta, by naming their baseball team the Braves, was mocking them or honoring them? Who names a team after a group they’re mocking when they want them to succeed? Is common sense dead?

Compromise. Change the name of the Braves and ban all Boston teams from sports for one year.

I thought they were from Milwaukee did I miss that?

Boston until 1952, Milwaukee 1953-1965, Atlanta 1966-present.

Redskins are literally the only sports team I think should change.

His point stands, though. No sports team uses a pejorative as a nickname. They’re called the Braves, not the Yellow Bellies.

Boston’s football Braves became the Redskins the following year. Before the moved to DC a few years later.
