will they blame Deion for the Trail of Tears too?

"Through our conversations, changing the name of the Braves is not under consideration or deemed necessary. We have great respect and reverence for our name and the Native American communities that have held meaningful relationships with us do as well. We will always be the Atlanta Braves.
"As it relates to the fan experience, including the chop, it is one of the many issues that we are working through with the advisory group. The chop was popularized by our fans when Deion Sanders joined our team and it continues to inspire our players on the field. With that in mind, we are continuing to listen to the Native American community, as well as our fans, players, and alumni to ensure we are making an informed decision on this part of our fan experience."

I would prefer a name change. Frankly it feels dated and silly to have to have a cultural discussion over something as frivolous as a baseball team name.

I remember a few years ago, txting a buddy who defends all the Native nicknames (typical they are honoring them crap) when the Dodgers were eliminating the Braves from the playoffs. The dodgers broke out in a chop mocking the Braves... "so, how exactly is the chop honoring Native Americans right now?" and he legit told me "the Dodgers crowd are telling the Braves, good fight, you guys are Brave and Strong like Native Americans, we respect you"
We have a high school here in Wisconsin that still uses the Apaches for a nickname. The Apache, are a tribe from the Arizona / New Mexico area!
Federal government denies the Jays proposal to play home games in Toronto, which is absolutely the right call considering what's going on south of the border these days. Sounds like they're going to play in Buffalo, though.
