MLB's Texas Rangers face pressure to change name amid heightened scrutiny over symbols, historical figures


quote:

“They burned peasant villages and slaughtered innocents,” Swanson wrote in the book. “They committed war crimes. Their murders of Mexicans and Mexican Americans made them as feared on the border as the Ku Klux Klan in the South.”

In the eyes of a ranger 
The unsuspecting stranger 
Had better know the truth of wrong from right 

'Cause the eyes of a ranger are upon you 
Any wrong you do, he's gonna see 
When you're in Texas, look behind you 
'Cause that's where the ranger's gonna be

Oh frick off!

You want to change the name? Start a GoFundMe, raise about half a billion dollars, buy the franchise, and name the damn thing whatever you want! Otherwise, these morons can shut the frick up!

Why aren't there any honkies, wypipos, or crackers as mascots since we are evil and fierce. Makes more since than red skins, Indians, or demons or devil.

I'm waiting for somebody to come after the Saints due to the Catholic Church and the inquisition.

Do you see? They're never going to be satisfied. It'll always be onto the next outrage.

It's past time we stood up to these people.
