Are the Dallas Cowboys racist for having a mascot that didn't free the slaves?
Probably. With the “my culture is not a costume” push for Halloween basically you can’t dress up or use any real person or group of people. So any team that doesn’t use an animal or inanimate object is on the block

The state voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, so they get no sympathy from me. They voted for the party that celebrates pushing causes like this, so….
Lol. No they didn't. Or did you not see how that ticket "overcame" an insurmountable deficit while most of America was asleep? If you knew anything about Georgia, as a whole, you'd know that it isn't possible they voted for those two.

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.
Does It really? Does anyone truly care about this ?
If you let this affect you, you are so fragile and Need to find a hobby or something
To this I say what about the Cowboys, Raiders, Buccaneers, 49ers, Steelers, Brewers, Lakers, Astros, Packers, and the littany of other professional and college mascots that represent people of different races and/or professions?

The stadium stopped playing the music to go along with it and the fans are doing it anyways.
That was only briefly. They definitely still play it during pitching changes while dimming the stadium lights so the fans can turn their phone light on and do the chop. It's fricking awesome and the local tribes are all for it.

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."
Good article from the Society of American Baseball Research (SABR)
Chicanery was the order of the day in baseball for the first number of decades.

I know probably 95% otb hate Bill Maher but he had a great segment a couple of months ago on woke and cancel culture being out of control in regards to things like this. He absolutely nailed the part about native Hawaiians complaining about surfing becoming whitewashed and other races taking their culture imo

What a dream scenario. Either the Braves win and the libs heads explode because of "racism" or the Astros win and everyone still cries about them cheating.

Indeed. The Dodgers should be more concerned about their fan base killing Giants' fans than what the Braves are doing.

Manfred can eat a dick. He already showed his true colors when he pulled that bullshite stunt with the ASG.

The Native American community in that region is fully supportive of the Braves’ program, including the chop.
Those stupid Indians don't know what's good for them. We need to let them know that they should be offended.

what about the Vikings, buccaneers, 49ers, cavaliers, texans, knicks, yankees, etc. all named after a group of people.

Articles like this make me so happy to know just how shitty these journalist's salaries are
Miserable, entitled pricks with nothing better to do with their time. If Native American causes mean so much to you, go donate time and money to helping those on reservations, or do literally anything other than virtue signal in some dying form of media.
I'm sure wailing and gnashing your teeth about a harmless chop is going to solve all the real issues facing the Native American community.

Those liberal scum media have no clue how much money the Braves give to the Indian nations here.

Gotta love it when white progressives tell minorities what they should be offended by
I agree. Black people, Native American, Hispanic people, etc are so fortunate they live in a country where they don't have to have their own thoughts and opinions. Benevolent white people are happy to take care of such trivial concerns for them.

there is some irony here considering this thread is all white people telling people to not be offended
