The Braves beat the Indians in the '95 WS, so obviously, Wahoo is the weakest of the native logos and should be summarily eradicated.

I'm one of the few that think the chief wahoo logo and Redskins' name is offensive. But I love this Braves logo and the FSU logo. I think both could be adjusted IMO. Celebrate the Natives. I also understand that it isn't the biggest deal since Native Americans make up roughly less than 1% of the population now. Most live a good life anyways getting their commission and smoking weed.

I was in Atlanta in late 95, with a buddy from Cleveland. He was wearing an Indians jacket, and some guy walks up to us and says "all little Indians want to grew up to be Braves"

Lol congrats to his braves on their ONE WS from that decade, despite absolutely owning the NL during that time

It's prolly time baseball once again talked contraction.

And it's prolly best if Cleveland is the only option.

How many World Series titles have the Indians won since 1948?

But given the last few years, I'd love to be able to bitch about the Braves choking in the postseason now.

Heard you were dead. Anyway it is mostly the white Libtards that are behind the PC movement to alter every name to not offend anybody other than whites..unless they are the racist type of white.

'Tis the season, to rise.

Unless you're Cleveland. They should prolly play dead thru the end of the weekend.

New stadium is always cool.

Yep, unfortunately I haven't been able to make it down to either of the first to Braves games there, but I did take in a Georgia game at Suntrust last Saturday. Stadium is awesome.

And as it stands now, we're on pace to go 81-0 at home this season.

Chief Wahoo doesn't bother me much, but I think that "smallpox blanket giveaway night" stepped a little over the line...

The logo is extremely offensive and needs to be replaced.

I'd prefer one such as:

What is more offensive Fighting Irish or Chief Wahoo ... neither offends me. If I were an Indians or Notre Dame fan, I would not want something to cartoonish as my logo. If I was the Cleveland Indians fan, I would prefer that the team name was for a real Native American Nation rather than a misnamed group from an explorer who didn't understand where he was at the time.

Here is a little know fact: Up till 1974 there used to be an empty whiskey bottle by his foot

I googled "Fighting Irish Logo" History, whiskey, through the years and 1970 ... I could not find any whiskey bottle.
1970? Well there is your problem!




When you get back to your googling check out the word "satire" and "sarcasm"

That's not why the explorers called the natives 'Indians.'
