repoly to: By the time the democrats are done, there will be no trace of groups or history they don’t approve of.

Yea PC sh*t has ruined just about every part of life and history - the big stuff and the small stuff...our regional fair has been named The DIXIE CLASSIC FAIR forever, but two years ago the the big dem sh*t mayor (who wants to turn the city and the county if he had the power and could, into a sanctuary zones), along with university lefties got a local bill pasted to remove the word DIXIE because it ‘offended” someone!

BS...no one who has lived here locally for years (is offended - black or white or mex)...but the those in the PC university crowd are...hell they don’t go to fairs...below them!

BTW - the accepted definition of the word DIXIE unless you are a racist is - The term originally referred simply to the states south of the Mason–Dixon line, but now is more of a cultural reference, referring to parts of the southern United States.

The fair is in North Carolina - the city has been running it down for years due to the name...now they have figured out the best way to kill it - was some fun in it’s day! *sshole racists leftists jerks!

Holy carp, the Dodgers are going down.

Who woulda thunk that the Dodgers, and potentially the Stros’ wouldn’t make it to the Championship Series?

St. Louis is going to be tough to beat, they always seems to find a way once they get into the post-season regardless of their regular season record.

You know from 1758 in the Seven Years War frontier militia in our nation have preferred the tomahawk as a personal edged weapon till James Bowie and his tool gained more acceptance

Later revolutionary war

Creek wars and war of 1812

Various wars with Indians

American adventurers who joined scalp hunters in northern Mexico has the Mexican governors paid big bounties for Apache scalps 1830-1850

It wasn’t just Indians...I still have several

MLB would certainly prefer a Yankees-Cards World Series, than a Rays-Nats World Series, two teams with very little National following compared to the fan bases of the Yankees and Cardinals.

This must be hard to watch in person. Many condolences.

Thank you.

Kind of weird, it doesn’t bother me as much as it used to. I have seen so many great Braves moments in person. 1991 First Braves Series, 1992 NLCS game 7 Sid Bream slide to beat Pirates and saw game 6 of 1995 Series win to beat Cleveland in 6. I even saw Randy Johnson throw a perfect game against the Braves. Fantastic.

I feel for younger Braves fans who haven’t really seen anything “great”. I’m the only person I know that saw the Braves win the World Series.

How bout them Falcons?

I have no rooting interest in any of the teams except that I wish for fans who have never had a team win it all to have that experience. I’ve been there and wish it for others. There are 7 teams in MLB that have never done it including your Rangers. I hope you get that one day. Of the remaining teams the Nats and Rays have never won although the Rays did make it to the series and lost. Despite the low ratings I would hope some new fans get that high of winning.

There is a dirty little secret of the entire human race—We genocided the Neanderthals.

Every single one of us alive today is guilty, guilty, guilty, and the Neanderthals don’t even get a Holiday or a Statue.

There are _no_ clean hands.

Axing the tomahawk didn’t do the Braves much good, as they lost to the St. Louis Cardinals 13-1.

#getwokegobroke

The Atlanta Braves made a major concession Wednesday before beginning game five of the National League Division Series against the St. Louis Cardinals — they agreed to abandon their normal “Tomahawk Chop” rallying cry.

Cardinals rookie pitcher Ryan Helsley, who is of Cherokee descent, had criticized the chant, calling it “a disappointment.”

In addition to abandoning the chant, at least as long as Helsley was in the game, the Braves also agreed to refrain from playing the music that normally accompanied the chant.
