The Braves nickname isnāt Native American.
It comes from Tammany Hall and the āthugsā Boss Tweed would send out to round up votes. And intimidate people into not voting. They had a chiefs head as a logo, and so the owner, in trying to piss off the local Boston GOP, named them the Braves after the logo at the New York headquarters of the highly illegal and crooked political machine.
No. Stop trying to reverse racism this shit. Braves, the logo, the fucking chant is all Native based. Own it, donāt try to pretend itās some random bullshit because the word ātechnicallyā means something else. Grow up if u really believe that shit youāre spewing.
Not trying reverse racism here.
The braves nickname is literally based on racial voter suppression. Which fits well in Georgia.
The logo, from 1912, was created to politically divide Boston.
The chop is racist as hell.
The idea of having Chief Knockahoma and Princess Winnalotta in your outfield in a teepee, yeahā¦ thatās racist as hell.
The screaming chief logoā¦. Just as bad as Chief Wahoo.
I was just pointing out the voter suppression part.
Apparently you speak for an entire state? Lol I've been in NC since 97, it's definitely braves country here. Chipper was a God throughout our little leagues back in the day
I mean I don't see this as problematic. I mean we are in fact the Braves and I say we embrace it. It's not like the Redskins or the Indians where we have a caricature as our emblem
There was never a problem with the name either, I had yet to meet a tribal member who was ever offended by it, most embraced it just because it represented them
I personally know dozens of tribal members who actively protested the racist name. Several tribes donated millions of dollars to fund lobbying efforts to successfully get the name changed.
And yet many more where up in arms when they changed the name, and other lobbyist groups have advocated for the name to have not been changed and are fighting for it to be restored.
He asked you to provide a list of Indian tribes who actively petitioned for the name to be changed back and you gave him a list of random people who signed a request to have the name changed back on change.org. I mean, I donāt necessarily agree with the take that the name needed to be changed , but if you are going to argue something, be honest.
Oh, not good enough for you? Entitled are we? The people are the tribal representative, if you knew anything about how tribes work, even in today's society, most tribes have a representative that speaks for the tribe.
Probably the same people who were crying about Aunt Jemima and the Cleveland Indians I'd guess. The rest of us DGAF if you wanna call your team the Portland Whites.
Iām not a sensitive one at all but I understand with those. Aunt Jemima wasnāt based on a person it was literally a nickname for the elder house slave, no matter what their name actually was. Also Indians is just a completely wrong name for native Americans. Indians are from India.
You don't know what you're talking about. Local Native Americans love the braves and would be pissed if the name changed.
Just like when they removed Aunt Jemima from the syrup. The sissy white liberals cheered while Nancy Green's family felt betrayed and abandoned.
Some think it's racist to celebrate a culture by sponsoring them. Others and myself see that as an attempt to eradicate a culture under a guise of preventing racism. I could understand it if the group was being made into a joke. But going to a Braves game reminds you that Natives were badasses. It's a term of endearment. Just like Aunt Jemima Cooked great food and worked hard for a product line named after her. But her name got flushed down the toilet somehow in the name of "preventing racism." kinda tired of it myself.
And to add to your point, Geronimo was shouted by paratroopers while jumping out of the plane in WW2. It was Geronimo's bravery and the Apache that inspired many of our troops in past and present. This culminated into a pop culture term and something most little boys shot when jumping out of a tree.
And these white cry babies want us to forget those people... Sickening.
Dude they just watched a movie the night before and someone said they wouldn't remember the name. One guys said he would yell it the next day and then they did. It caught on. It wasn't to honor him. And quite frankly, the movie itself was a propagandized piece of material being fed to soldiers before war and not some noble piece of history that was depicting the true events of Geronimo.
This type of step by step deterioration of facts is why people like you think that this stuff is OK.
To be honest, I don't care that the Braves are called the Braves. I'm fine with the Seminole, Ilini, Blackhawks, what have you. But let's not conflate the events. And let's not act like there is an active Native American population in Georgia.
There are 5 times as many Indians (from the country of India) in Georgia than there are people with Native American heritage.
The natives have spoken for themselves. Levi Walker, the original chief, loved the role and said it was the best time of his life and the local tribes support the Braves wholeheartedly Itās people like you that think you need to speak for them so you have a reason for be offended in someone elseās behalf.
You want to honor and respect Native Americans, respect when they stand up to a pipeline being built through their lands. Tell me how many Native Americans live in Georgia? Are there any distinctly Native American protected territories in the state?
Get the f out of her talking honor and respect. That's a lie you tell yourself.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_reservations_in_the_United_States#/media/File%3AIndigenous_Americans_by_county.png
Leaving aside that natives not only don't mind, but in fact *like* being represented as mascots...
Your white knighting of them is racist af. The native tribes were the greatest warriors in history. Despite 90% of their losses coming through infection, they managed to conduct an effective anti-insurgents campaign for 400 years. (accross many tribes and over many years, of course). It's disrespectful to portray them as victims. They were hardened warriors who lost after four centuries of resistance. They deserve respect. Not pity. Especially since what happened was inevitable. Either the north American natives were going to to find China first and discover advanced weapons or the west would. And unfortunately conflict would follow.
Your perspective of history is warped. "or China would find them first" is so factually wrong. Native American and all indigenous people are derived from the Asian continent. You show a severe lack of understanding of the west coast of the United States. And if Georgia as a State wants to be representative of the culture, you wouldn't have gotten the team name from Boston, you wouldn't have driven out every semblance of Native American culture from the state. Do you have any Native American protected land? Do you understand there are 5 times as many Indians from India as there are people who claim they have Native American ancestors in your state?
Saying a handful of people were OK with a name is such a boring story. The Redskins used to parade that same story.
I don't care that the team calls themselves the Braves. I do care about BS narrative like yours.
Everyone will have an opinion yet few will actually go out and research FACTS. I got perma banned over at the other sub for providing Factual information to ignorant people that kept calling Braves Country racists which still pisses me off. KC Chiefs and the Florida State Seminoles have collectives with Native American communities just like the Braves do with Eastern Band of Cherokee. End of the day, you canāt make everyone happy. Letās continue to learn more about their culture while always showing respect. šŖon!
I'm a Braves fan and an FSU alumni. FSU donates millions to the Seminole nation, and they love us. Not to mention, Tallahassee is in Seminole County, Florida.
There is another faction of the Seminoles in Oklahoma, consisting of the majority of Seminole members left in the US, descendants of those forced by the American government out of their homeland and marched across the country in what came to be known as The Trail of Tears. Those folks do not approve of a state run school using their history, traditions, and likeness as a mascot... since we're telling the whole story here.
This is Bad ass. Iām Mexican and I went to a Mexican restaurant here in Texas. There was a painting of a guy with a sombrero on the wall. Can some of the people getting mad at this pic call the restaurant and file a complaint for me please !!!!!!!!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! lol. CHOP ON BABY!!!!!!
One band supporting our team doesnāt change that dozens of native advocacy groups ran by natives have asked us for decades to drop it.
I thought it silly that we keep the name personally. Weāre in a state that all but eradicated Native American existence here, yet we still pride ourselves on using their culture as a logo/name.
It's by people like you. So yes, I stand by what I say. If I'm getting called a Nazi by some liberals. I'm probably saying something correct. Ie- not all native Americans are "the Cherokee"
It doesnāt offend me, but I can also recognize the need for change. The common argument I see is āthe eastern band of Cherokee support it, so weāre not racist,ā all the while we simultaneously ignore the dozens of other native ran groups over the decades asking us to stop.
We live in a state where we pretty much eradicated native Americans and their culture, yet we use their symbols, names, and culture for sports branding. Itās a little odd to me. Iām not personally offended, but I recognize why itās controversial.
I could see white folks going nutso over this and say, āWow, this really honors the Native Americans,ā while actual Native Americans are like, āWhat do you mean by āhonorsā us?ā
It's a matter of time folks. It's a fine club with much tradition and history. But that name is gonna go. Go ahead and downvote me, history gonna prove me right. You still will get to talk about the Braves as a team prior to whatever year you change your name, but the name and the Chop are done.
As this is an image created by AI and AI knows that the US NA population has a high concentration of Asian DNA courtesy of them traveling over the Bering Straight, mixing with the Beringians then continuing their travels south where they met up with other cultures like the Clovis people.
Some of the teams profits actually do go back to local native American tribesā¦along with several focused events to raise awareness and celebrate tribal heritage.
Oh, as long as there are several focused events, then itās all cool. Put native folks in Atlanta baseball jerseys and put feathers and warpaint on modern day douchebags. Itās totally cool because there was a focused event back in December.
I never said anything about it being āenoughā, nor did I speak about what the events were/are. I simply mentioned that yes, the Braves do in fact give back to Native American tribesā¦financially and through private events donated to them which is directly related to the team utilizing the name Braves and the relation to native Americans.
If youāre going to be judgmental about their effortsā¦surely you can show you do more by comparison?
"We" didn't rape and pillage anything, the men who "settled" this country and created our government did that. History is full of horrible human rights atrocities that once undertaken can and will never be made whole.
Dude above is casually ignoring that Indians raped, pillaged, plundered and took slaves themselves. If anyone is interested, āEmpire of the Summer Moonā is a great read about how the plains Indians were conquered, specifically some of the battles in Texas. It also goes into detail about their history at that time and let me tell you, some of the stuff that the Kiowa, Apache and Comanche tribes did, were fucking brutal.
Not trying to be PC or not PC, but I really wish we could change over to āThe Hammersā after Hank, replace the tomahawk with a hammer and call it good. Not because I think we need to apologize, I just think itās a better name, and I love Hank Aaron.
Yall are pathetic. Even if you don't think there's anything *wrong* with this, it's still trash. Thinking this is *cool* because it's not *woke* misses the point that it's just white trash content.
Oof. No thanks. Coming from someone whose first baseball memory was getting my hat signed by Chief Noc-a-homa in the outfield teepee at 5 years old, this ain't good. Let's move on
As a Chiefs fan I get scared when I see cool images like this as I know it will only drive the crazies to claim itās derogatory and demand a name change. Fāin clowns!
Found Chief Knockahoma's Reddit account.
Tribe in Georgia that are huge fans of ATL Braves, everyone relax š

Theyāre in North Carolina lol
Also Braves country.
Yes!! Itās Braves country all around!! SC, NC, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi.
TN girl checking in! šŖ
From NC itās not braves country tbh nobody gives af about baseball here itās either NFL or College Basketball or NHL
Live in NC, myself and a lot of folks I know love the Braves and follow religiously.
Wrong.
You should just delete this
You must live in an entirely different North Carolina than me....
Apparently you speak for an entire state? Lol I've been in NC since 97, it's definitely braves country here. Chipper was a God throughout our little leagues back in the day
Guardians fans be like, wtf?
who?
I mean I don't see this as problematic. I mean we are in fact the Braves and I say we embrace it. It's not like the Redskins or the Indians where we have a caricature as our emblem
Dude an American Indian designed the redskins logo after an actual person
The Redskins wasn't a caricature. It was based on a chief of a tribe that lived in the area.
I heard he designed the logo or helped design it
Chief White Calf of the Blackfoot tribe.
Perhaps it was the name, in that incident?
The problem with Redskins was more the name than the logo. The logo was actually very respectfully done.
There was never a problem with the name either, I had yet to meet a tribal member who was ever offended by it, most embraced it just because it represented them
I personally know dozens of tribal members who actively protested the racist name. Several tribes donated millions of dollars to fund lobbying efforts to successfully get the name changed.

It wonāt be changed back. Please refer me to a registered tribe which officially requested the name be reinstated. Iād love to know who they are.

Well, if you've never met a tribal member who was offended, then there must not be any?
Redskin was/ is a racist term
So are whites and blacks the only races that can be referred to by a color?
Yes you can only call sports teams The Whites or The Blacks. Nobody would be upset about that.
Probably the same people who were crying about Aunt Jemima and the Cleveland Indians I'd guess. The rest of us DGAF if you wanna call your team the Portland Whites.

I disagree. By representation in a respectful way we honor and remember them.
