Team was Braves?

Change to The Palefaces. I mean if Indian nicknames are bad, by logic caucasian names should be the bee’s knees.

That could never happen because it would be offensive to any POC on the teams, right?

So you can’t be minority and you can’t be non-minority.

That’s how we get “The Washington Football Team.”

Let’s wipe native Americans from our history. They were never here before the White Man wiped them out! Just sayin...

“”Public school teams in New York will soon be barred from calling themselves names like the Warriors, Chiefs, Redmen or Braves following a Tuesday ruling by Albany education honchos.””

.

The New York Leavers?

The Trannies?

The New York Taxers?

The Albany Apathetics?

The Whimps?

.

Yeah, this just goes on and on...

Origin warrior
Middle English: from Old Northern French werreior, variant of Old French guerreior, from guerreier ‘make war’, from guerre ‘war’.

Chief Noun and Adjective
Middle English, from Anglo-French chief, chef head, chief, from Latin caput head — more at HEAD

Brave Adjective
borrowed from Middle French, borrowed from Italian bravo “courageous, wild,” perhaps ultimately going back to Latin barbarus BARBAROUS
Verb borrowed from Middle French braver “to challenge, flout

More control through the use of lawfare by the democrat party. This is what CWII looks like, folks.

If Native Americans are offended and ashamed to be call Warriors, Chiefs, or Braves, are the black people ashamed to be call black, homey, or maybe other such things.?

Maybe we can name our teams the Thugs, the Hoodies, the dealers, or how about the pimps.! Yeah, that's it, the "Cincinnati Pimps"..!!! I like it..

So let it be written, so let it be done....

The exception for tribal schools should be challenged. Make them choose full censorship or none instead of allowing them to virtue signal.

‘Chief’ is not a Native American word, it’s a French word.

I just don’t see what the fuss is all about...

I don’t mind Notre Dame being called the fighting Irish. It’s a man made non issue, for the rats 🐀 to virtue signal. Screw them.
