The stupid move to homogenize the Redskins and Indians to PC Pablum is insulting to the teams , fans and most of all, Indians. How about we just whitewash all of it and pretend the past doesn't exist.
Basically I don't care about the left's porcelain feelings.
Restore the names. If Trump can undo the renaming of military bases and the renaming of Mt McKinley surely we can handle 'Redskins' and "Indians'. Sports will return to being fun.
Probably right-wing conservative extremist domestic terrorists masquerading as Native Americans. The movement to change MLB names must go forward. There is a lot of work to do -
Chicago "White" Sox - Offensive to Blacks
Cinncinnatti "Reds" - Degrading slur for Communists
Arizona "Diamondbacks" - Degrading (are they rattlesnakes?)
Los Angeles "Angels" - Offensive to Satanists
NY "Yankees" - Degrading Civil War term used by Rebels
Atlanta "Braves" - Offensive to Native Americans
Milwaukee "Brewers" - Promotes alcoholism
San Diego "Padres" - Offensive to Ayatollahs and Muslims in general
San Francisco "Giants" - Offensive to dwarves and midgets
Pittsburgh "Pirates" - Offensive to descendents of pirate victims
I think you are being a little over-optimistic about things returning to normal. My cynical mind thinks the woke rot is too deeply intrenched!
