    Like I said in my first post, its a race to see who can be the most outraged by the most benign thing. Eventually the left is going to be calling doorknobs racist and the right is going to be calling car tires "culturally marxist" and everyone is going to transcend into another space-time of wokeness, becoming Woke Buddhas.

    Anyone that gets exceptionally fired up about the casting of fictional characters is pretty awful. There are also people that get mad when there are movies about women or minorities or when you have a female ghostbusters project. Kind of crappy all around.

    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.

I'd be really interested to see how many were actually offended and how much of this is just white people being offended on their behalf.
    Both 2004 and 2016 polls showed 90% of Native Americans not offended by Redskins name.

    Doesn't matter... as a white man, I'll let them know Native Americans what to be offended by ;)

    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.

    I agree with Chef and Jaw here on the Chop thing.
    I saw that trending on twitter and it seemed like it was all left wing people reacting to a controversy that didn't actually exist.

    People should be more upset about Disney making another sub par movie as a cash grab than the skin color of a character.

    I’d go with the Atlanta Grand Wizards

    Atlanta Slave Masters would also be a good one.

    Grand Wizards would be offensive to Wiccans, though.

    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.

    I'm talking about when they put out the initial casting calls they were actively searching for a PoC for that role and auditioned several. There was a big hubbub about it, but ultimately they ended up giving the role to some white girl.

    Hardly. Shows how few actual leftist you confront, or at least actually listen to.

If it bothers the actual people who come to games it would be different but I’ve known a whole lot more Braves fans that would be ticked about doing away with it than ones who had any concerns about it.
    I already do for his pro DH stance. Manfried doesn't give a bleep about tradition which is sad in today's sports. But every commish has to make their mark.
