Dan Bongino: Following the Washington Redskins folding on changing its name, activists have been pressuring other sports teams with names referring to Native Americans to change their names as well. However, Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves have no plans to do this.
TheBlaze reports from ESPN that the Braves sent an email to season ticket-holders saying that while the team is looking at the future of the Tomahawk Chop, a forearm-forward motion with a wordless stereotypical Native American chant employed during games, the team is sticking with its name.

SNIP: I hope so. But why should I believe they wouldn’t cave?
The Braves will now have the nickname Atlanta GFYs.
And Atlanta fans will still end the National Anthem with “…the home of the Braves”.
BTW you can look at the Tomahawk Chop till your eyes bleed, suits. It ain’t going away, either. Go spend your time trying to blow up Stone Mountain. That will be easier.
That’s good. Now they don’t have to give up that song that starts every game. It ends with “AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE!”….However, if anyone takes a knee during that pesky song….then they will become the Atlanta GFY’s…
I guess they’d really be mad if the team was named the Atlanta Injuns.
Have you ever noticed that on the Lone Ranger, Tonto is always acknowledged by “hey injun!”
I’m shocked that the mob still allows westerns to be shown in tv. I have a feeling that westerns will get the boot eventually.
They already gave up Chief Not A Homa in 1985…..These fuckers are relentless….
I’m not buying it. Enough pressure and they’ll cave.
Snyder said the same thing about the Redskins. He couldn’t take the pressure and he caved. He turned out to be a chicken shit who can’t stand up to leftist jerks.
I guess the Braves owner couldn’t be blackmailed for being a pedophile going to Epstein’s island multiple times like the Redskins owner.
Waiting for the Cleveland Browns to change their name …
WGAF about ANY professional sports?
Get in the unemployment line, losers. In the back of the line.
As a native American, I find it hard to believe the pure white-man left wants to erase us from everything.
Keep the name and change the symbol to a white colonist in a tricornered hat. Problem solved.
YOU GO BRAVES
Sad to say baseball has caved to BLM so MLB is dead to me which is a shame since I’ve been a fan for 50 years.
The old Triple A Atlanta Team was called the “Crackers”. Imagine that.
If they buckled, they’d be known as the Atlanta Cowards from now on, no matter what new name they chose.
