Good
Relief!!!! Have followed since Boston Braves days.
Thought this was interesting:
I'm guessing a name change will happen at some point in the near future. Probably not for a few years, but the Indians and Redskins are on that path, and then the Braves are going to be arguably the biggest target remaining, along with the Chiefs. I think the Braves and Chiefs will be able to hold out for a bit, because neither word is a racial slur and there's no horrifying Chief Wahoo iconography, but it's just a matter of time.
Stopping the chop won't stop the chop
Wont feel the same to me with any other name. I didnt grow up an Atlanta Eagles fan.
I would guess the Blackhawks are next on the target.
I think the Braves ditch native iconography. They ditch the tomahawk from it's symbology, simple Atlanta A and Simple Braves logos, like they had before the 87 season. Personally I wish they would go back to the late 70s or early 80s braves logos.
