One of their sponsors, FedEx, is pushing the team to change its name.ATLANTA -- With teams in two sports taking a second look at names deemed offensive to Native Americans, the Atlanta Braves on Saturday gave no indication they are willing to consider a similar change.
The Braves released a statement saying the team “honors, supports, and values the Native American community. That will never change.”The team said in recent months it has “created an even stronger bond with various Native American tribes, both regionally and nationally, on matters related to the Braves and Native American culture."
“The Atlanta Braves have a meaningful commitment to honor the Native American community and we are excited about working together to ensure this happens," it said.
So how is Braves 'offensive'?
Sounds like the owners of the Braves are cowards.
what if a bee see?
Is the Atlanta Cowards offensive ?
Good.
Because its not offensive.
RT : With teams in two pro sports taking a second look at names deemed offensive to Native Americans, the Atlanta Braves are giving no indication they are willing to consider a similar change. The Atlanta Waves?
Why should they? Who’s triggered today? God you people are sick. Waking up just seeking a reason to be offended. To be a victim.
If Democrat Biden wins the election, all this race card stuff will disappear, without Biden doing a single thing extra, to fix it. Just like When Obama was President. If Democrat policies won’t work, use the race card.
AND WHY SHOULD THEY..!.Sure don’t hear any complaining about millions $$ given various tribes NOR do I read or hear of any complaints about billions $$$$ they make yearly at the casinos like “Seminole” HardRock for one..good for them, their guests & laughing all way to bank..!!
Good, all this name changing shit is pathetic. We have a country full of weak minded people who are offended by everything. There are MUCH more important things that will actually help the black community besides tearing down statues, burning businesses and looting. EDUCATION
I've just become a Braves fan!
The world doesn't revolve around your propaganda mill's chronically butthurt performance art.
Wussies. Media isn’t even smart enough to know that the team names are paying homage to a strong and noble culture. Everything to them is raaaaaaacccciiiiissssttttt.
How is it offensive to have a sports team names after you? Chiefs and braves thats inclusive not prejudice. Red skins maybe just because the word skin change that one to Natives. But seriously wtf?
Don’t give in Atlanta. Stay strong for the Braves
Brave people are everywhere. It's never been more evident. Warriors are, as well. I'm not feeling a name change. The tomahawk can go, in my opinion, but I would like to see them keep the name and hope they represent it in a positive way.
America is tired of you angry haters who try to make everything about race and hate and division.
How is Braves offensive?
Because they’re racist. You forgot to mention that.
Tomahawk chop.
What a bunch of crap!
I’m sorry but I don’t think the “Redskins” is at all the same as the “Braves.” One is clearly racist and one seems to be a tribute
Would Bravos be any less offensive?
Good! Hope they have the guts to stand up to the likes of you!
Good.
Good for the Braves!! Fuck that!! Cannot change all the names!! Haiw bout this info
of course not you idiots, they’re called the Braves !! B-R-A-V-E-S ! THE BRAVES ! Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸 !!
Should change Yankees It implies white privilege
Yay Brave Braves
I think the Braves is an interesting question. The fervor has only been about the Redskins that I recall, and at least the prior logo of the Indians. I don't know that I've seen anything about how Natives feel about that. Would be good to know.
Good
Why is “ Braves” offensive? That word sounds like a complement to me.
The Yankees should change their name! Yankee is an offensive word to southerners!
Banning NFL, MLB, NBA! No longer will be supporting any of this crap!
When are they going to ban tyres on cars 🚗 because they are black.
Awesome, the stupidity and madness stop right there.
It doesnt matter all sports will be bankrupt You will see your favorite athletes at Wal-Mart
