The political correctness mob is now coming after professional baseball. This was on the horizon. When the lefty mob scalped the Washington Redskins, whose new name is unknown, this was bound to happen. If you give the Left an inch, they'll take several hundred miles. You cannot give an inch of land. The same applies to statues. This wasn't about Confederate statues, folks. Any person could see the long game here. The Confederacy was the flank march to move against the real target: The Founding Fathers. This nation's history is the target.
The op-ed in The Washington Post, written by Global Opinions editor Karen Attiah, declares the team name "must go"
because of its sordid history:
If the team ownership, as it proclaims, condemns “racism, bigotry and discrimination in all forms,” there is an easy way for it to prove that. The Texas Rangers’ team name must go.
For the most part, these campaigns to change brand names have been led by white liberals. Yeah, of all people, white liberals are dictating what is and what isn't racist and doing so in the name of people of color. Case in point, no Native American cared that Washington's football team was called the "Redskins." This op-ed was written by a black woman, Attiah, who outlines reasons for the team's name change. Let's see if more black voices agree and if this will become a lightning rod for more white progressives to froth at the mouth, which has been the seat of irony regarding this Black Lives Matter resurgence in the activist orbit. It's being overtaken by white people. I've been told this is not kosher by some folks.
And look, some may take this as dismissive, but we can't simply rename everything. It's nonsensical. Seriously, by this standard, we'd have to rename New York City, or burn it to the ground, because it was named after King James II, then the Duke of York, who built a slave monopoly with his brother, Charles II. That's not going to happen, but by the Left's standards, it "must go." This campaign of erasure must stop, but I feel more businesses are inclined to cave to this PC mob.....snip~

Eventually Americans are going to have to stand up to the Un American. As you can see the UN American will not stop until they tear the country down.
