The name “Braves” is bad enough. Fans might see it as honoring Native Americans, but in equating them to Tigers and Cardinals, it dehumanizes them.

The origin of "Braves" goes back 110 or so years, when the club was in Boston. The owner, at the time, was an entrenched member of the Tammany Hall organization, a quasi-political/mob group. Often, members of Tammany Hall were described as "Braves."
