PETA decided to go after the term bullpen. Let’s use the term “arm barn” guys. Clown world.

So SI finally hit the "woke benchmark" now...

I guess I should've known with the fatties in the swim suit edition...

And without europeans they would still be using rock and bone instead of metal.


And the oldest axe was found in Australia.

Why do certain groups try to claim its theirs and only theirs? Like fried chicken.

There is no irony, at all. We can't be racist just because someone decides that we are. If there are good intentions, and someone wants to be offended, anyway, then that's on them. But the biggest thing is that the local tribes have been all on board with the Braves and how they represent them.

So this woman is a liar. And you believed her. Nice job.

I consider myself a fairly progressive guy, I disagree with a whole lot of shite that gets posted on this board. But when did we lose the ability to make reasonable assessments about what is objectively offensive or insensitive versus what is offensive to fringe group of weaklings who shouldn't be taken seriously. It's hard not to laugh at how ridiculous this article is, and it's embarrassing that it's on SI.



You vote for this and align yourself with these people. And you probably said to yourself, right wingers are crazy and full of shite and have faux outrage. None of this happens. Rt? Thats exactly what your cult leader would tell you.

Guess what the natives were doing when we got here? Killing each other and stealing each other’s land.

What a pathetic attempt at justifying Europeans stealing Native Americans’ land.

My god irony is lost on you idiots. And btw they aren’t Native Americans, using a term like that just proves you’re an ignorant political stooge.

American Indians also enslaved each other

The horror right? Like the Africans that sold Their own into slavery to Arab Muslims then to euros 400 years later.

I don't think it's a justification as much as it's pointing out that some in our society condemn the white Europeans for certain actions, while at the same time act like all native tribes were these benevolent, benign, pipe-smoking, peace-loving hippies in harmony with the earth and their fellow humans when they were largely committing the same actions on anyone who couldn't adequately defend themselves.

Slavery. Mass murder including babies. Land grabbing. Stealing. Human sacrifice. Even cannibalism in some cases. All committed by native tribes throughout all of the Americas. Hell throughout all of the world. Yet we act like white Europeans invented and cornered the market on these atrocities.

Countless native tribes were victims of atrocities put upon them by more powerful tribes. That largly goes ignored when we cry about white savagery every Columbus Day and Thanksgiving.

Most Native American groups disagree. In large, they say that, given those serious issues, it is especially cruel to have thousands of people making fun of Native Americans at a baseball game. “It is overtly racist,” says Aaron Payment, secretary of the National Congress of American Indians and chairperson of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. “Whether people understand it or not, it’s overtly racist.”


yeah, ok, sure

Most tribal nation types love having teams named after them and when polled over 80% wanted to keep the Redskin name. Articles like this one are political bullshite and lies.

Almost everyone is a mutt these days. And shame on you for assuming people’s skin color…or the color they identify with.

A Brave is a Native American warrior and not a slur like Redskin or even Indian. May as well make the Vikings change their name too.

As for the chop, I've never liked it for obvious reasons as a UF fan.
