When are the Braves going to remove their tomahawk? When are the Pirates going to change their logo and name? Pirates were murderers and thieves after all. When are the Yankees going to change their name to something non-derogatory? When are the Giants going to change their name for being offensive to short people?

  • Braves did drop the "Screaming Brave" logo or better known as "Screaming Savage". Still got a hat of it somewhere.

I don't see a problem with the Pirates, Yankees, or Giants. I especially don't see how "Yankee" is derogatory, since it just refers to someone from the North.

  • Yankee is a derogatory term to Americans from the English

    Actually Max, Yankee is older than the Civil War. It was a Revolutionary War thing, the British called us that as an insult.

  • As a Brit, we still do call you yankees. It's just a thing that's always been there, Americans are known as yanks.

    Yeah, my birth father was one of ya'll. My mom told me stories and then when I entered high school, about the time dinosaurs ruled the earth, I learned about it in American history. Personally, I could not care less, we are called much worse shit, lol.

  • [quote]I agree, the Braves should remove their tomahawk.[/quote] Why its literally just an axe. Plus you are going to have a hard time convincing them anything is wrong since the Seminole tribe basically gave them and FSU their blessing to use the war chant.
