[ARCHIVED THREAD] - WH says the Atlanta Braves should change their name (Page 1 of 2)

President Biden himself had no qualms about saying the team’s name during a celebration in the White House East Room.

The president, congratulating the team on their championship, added that “the Braves will be forever remembered for the unstoppable, joyful run that this team made last year.”

Biden also paid tribute to the late Hank Aaron, who played for the franchise in Milwaukee and Atlanta for 21 seasons.

Aaron “shattered a lot of records, but he shattered them in racism as well, with dignity and with class,” the president said.

“It was a rough start [last year], plagued by injuries. The All-Star break, not one day of a winning record. Given a 0.4 percent chance of winning on CNN. No, I’m only joking,” Biden went on.

“At any rate — but the franchise never quit. It never gave in. You rebuilt the whole outfield practically overnight. Play by play, inning by inning, you grinded and you ground it out, and you did it together.”

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 that all people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect,” she added.

“You hear that often from this president. The same is true here. And we should listen to Native American and indigenous people who are the most impacted by this.”
Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said last year that American Indians support the Braves name.

Yeah, "Brave" is too generic. Since segregating people by their skin color is kosher these days, I suggest changing to a more descriptive term such as "Redskins".

Well, the White House should change its name first because White means racist white supremacists.

Without sports teams bringing awareness to the population of native Americans there is a very good chance they will simply be forgotten in the annals of time

I’d leave it alone, but it’s gonna be changed eventually.

Change it to the Atlanta Hammers as tribute to Hank Aaron. Sounds better than the Guardians or Commanders in my opinion.

Someone should tell Jean-Pierre that Joe should consider changing the name of the White House. It's a vestige of white supremacy and symbolizes the old, evil, straight, white man sitting in the big house atop the hill - untouched by the struggles of the people.

Good, good. Let’s kill them off and erase any mention of them from popular culture. Give it another fifty years and 87% of Americans won’t even know what an American Indian is.

Team ownership made the decision to go. That’s what happens when you choose to associate with progressive Marxists. Don’t feel the slightest bit sorry for the former Braves.

"Have a conversation." ...with American Indians involved. They've done that. How often does the conversation have to be revisited? Do they keep having 'the conversation' until they come to the 'correct' conclusion (kind of like voting in some locales :D)?
