What’s your reaction if MLB forced a name change?

I know we’re not but you never know. I’ll say if the Braves were a NBA team it would happen. It’s too politically correct there.

I think Atlanta is good as they recently met with native american tribes and got their blessing, as I understood it.
However if the MLB forced the Braves to change their names from "Braves", I'd be out. If the word "Braves" is offensive, we're doomed. Just let China in and let's all begin learning Mandarin.

The really sad thing is, the team name really is only tangentially connected native Americans to begin with. When the team was in Boston, one of the owners (James Gaffney) had been/was/had connections to a member of New York's Tammany Hall political machine. Tammany Hall politicians were known as Braves because the organization was named after Chief Tamanend of the Lenape tribe of Delaware.
If it happened (or happens) I'd still be a fan of the team, but doubt I would get anything with the new name/logo on it and depending on how assholish they were about fans wearing "Braves" gear might never go to another game.

If it were to ever happen. Which I don’t think it will. I’d try to say we’re now partnering with the ever so Brave trannys and gheys and that we’re pivoting the name to back them. So we stay the Atlanta Braves.

I'd switch to being a White Sox fan most likely. Already like them as far as AL teams go.

I would never support the Braves, or whatever they would become, ever again.

All the Redskins fans I know are still fans even after the Washington Football Team and now Commanders. Not sure I could've done it. Much respect to those people.
