The Seminole tribe should be offended by the FSU football program's descent into obscurity.
The other brands aren't representing a specific organization, so I think it would be difficult to develop a relationship similar to the one shared by FSU and the Seminole tribe. It would be interesting to see the response if the Braves were to come to an accommodation with some small and unrecognized tribe, like the Euchee, who have roots in Georgia and are basically forgotten.

Both 2004 and 2016 polls showed 90% of Native Americans not offended by Redskins name.

I'll make my final point this way: If Atlanta were getting an expansion baseball team, what would be the final five nicknames in the inevitable contest?
Kings (I made that point jokingly earlier)
Thrashers (it was a great choice once before)
Georgia Peaches
Phoenix
???
None have the comfy sound that "Braves" has, to me.

Fake controversies happen all the time. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the marketing team for the movie stirred the pot.
I follow right wing twitter and don't remember any comments and all of the posts in the trending tab were complaining about the supposed controversy. I really think that's all it was.
Remember the AOC dancing thing? It was some random low follower count twitter dude who said something and it blew up into a huge controversy. It was based on nothing.

Remake? You mean the Netflix show? Ciri is being played by a white actress.
As she should be. I mean, it’s a series of books based on middle European folklore and takes place in an alternate reality Europe. Not a lot of room for racial diversity there.
Not that I’d throw my arms up in the air if she wasn’t or anything.
