White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre encouraged the Atlanta Braves to have a “conversation” about picking a new name Monday—hours after President Biden hosted the team to celebrate their 2021 World Series championship. Jennifer Jacobs of Bloomberg News asked Jean-Pierre at her regular briefing for Biden’s position on the Braves’ nickname as well as the controversial “tomahawk chop” cheer. “We believe that it’s important to have this conversation, you know, and Native American and indigenous voices, they should be at the center of this conversation,” Jean-Pierre responded. “That is something that the president believes, that is something this administration believes, and he has consistently emphasized

The question about the Braves was a plant. Ms. dreadlock read the answer from her binder.

I do not understand this rush to change every team name that is based on American Indians. Would you change "Indians" to "Wimps"? "Braves" to "Cowards"? The Indian nations/tribes were formidable and feared opponents, which is why "Indians" and "Braves" were chosen as team names. I would think current American Indians would object to changing team names as doing so would relegate them to the back pages of U.S. history.

Try as they might, the democrats were unable to completely eradicate American Indians from the face of the earth. That doesn't mean they cant eradicate them from all aspects of our culture though, like sports teams and butter cartons. One way or another, the democrats feel compelled to wipe out all the Indians.

So it no longer matters if Native Americans are offended by it, so long as Dems think they should be?

two cowardly northern teams succumbed to the virtuous self righteous commies. I hope Southerners will tell 'em to shove it!
Mascots are chosen with respect. That is why there is no team with Democrats as their mascot.

As a Native American with the "papers" to indicate tribal affiliation, I think re-naming sports teams to avoid the native connection is more offensive than leaving the historical names intact. I know no one who feels otherwise.

Had Biden and his administration been in power during the last of the Indian Wars, we Lakota would still hold all lands West of the Mississippi!

Only reply needed from the Braves would be “Let’s go Brandon”.

The radical lesbian CEO of Land-O-Lakes butter erased the Indian maiden from the packages, and from that day forward this household has not spent even a penny on their products, despite having been loyal customers for a very long time. Somewhat on a related note.

#13. The removal of the Indian maid from Land of Lakes Butter coincided with the beginning of covid. The Washington Redskins were forced to change their name to Commanders. Considering what's in the White House they should have been been named the Celery Stalks.

I speak liberal. Let me translate 'have a conversation'. It means sit down, shut up, and do as we say.
Isn't that easy?

On Saturday I asked my daughter, who lives near DC what she was doing on Sunday and she replied that she and her husband were “going to a Redskins game”. No one who is a true fan of that team calls them anything but Redskins.

The progs are going to have it so every sports team and every food that has a minority as the face of the product gets a name change. They have then wiped out minority representation for teams, and other products. What next? Ban the names of Apache, Black Hawk, Kiowa, Lakota, Comanche for the military helicopters?

How about a stupid name like Atlanta Barn Doors or Hickory Switch or Red Clay Razzors. When will this hysteria end?

I suspect when this woke nonsense recedes into the laughing stock of history , we will get the Cleveland Indians and Washington Redskins back.

Considering the spiking murder rate in Atlanta maybe a more appropriate name might be the Atlanta Gunslingers but the perps are terrible shots because they think it’s “cool” to hold your gun sideways. As a matter of fact, the Eastern Cherokee Nation adopted the Atlanta Braves as their official team some years ago. Where in the world do these halfwit leftists come from? The name is an honorific to to the courage of American Indians and something most are proud of.

Complete waste of time. I still call Cleveland the Indians, and Washington the Redskins. I will never use the stupid names they change to because they dont have the backbone to tell the Libs to eff off.

I hardly think that Native Americans need a bunch of self-righteous cocktail party leftists to feel offended on their behalf over a team nickname!! The Braves have been there for ages, long before it became trendy to declare one's self offended.
And BTW, the other two pro teams are the Cleveland INDIANS and the Washington REDSKINS and always will be!!
