Not really.Braves isn't a slur.
Lots of names floating around, including Warriors. This one is interesting:https://twitter.com/OllieConnolly/status/1278821758053818369?s=19
Nor is Warriors, hey?
If only the MU powers that be had gotten rid of all of the inappropriate imagery 40 years ago. If they had switched the imagery over to, say, Joan of Arc, MU would have been years ahead of the curve and would still be the Warriors. Alas. So, Golden Eagles it is.
the main reason Native American imagery in 1954 was chosen was to ride the coattails of the Milwaukee Braves. There was a lot of work that went into deciding if Native American imagery could be separated from Warriors, both in 1993 and again in 2005. The answer was "no." Even in 2006, there were white kids wearing Native headdresses to games (and being encouraged and defended by Dr. McAdams after the University asked them to stop).And, the guy who portrayed the "First Warrior" and was the basis for the logo came out in support of ending the use of "Warriors." https://fox6now.com/2013/12/04/man-who-was-face-of-marquette-warriors-shares-take-on-mascot-debate/
In 1993, if they would have gone with a different logo and stuck with Warriors, no one would have been wearing a headress in 2010.
The more I read about this Mahomes deal, the more I don’t understand it. It feels like a lot of high dollar one year deals that doesn’t offer him much guarantee, at least compared to the $450M number.
Washington changing name in next couple days?
I think Rivera is a good coach. But they kind of are turning the whole show over to the guy. I don't think having him oversee this process a few weeks before training camp is the best idea.
To me the Rivera thing is to publicize there is a minority involved in the process and highlight him hiring a minority coach. I don’t know if Rivera actually has anymore say than a normal coach.Although, I may just be too cynical. The whole press release without any quotes from Snyder and no press conference tells me he is doing this only because of the pressure from outside.
I can't remember where I read it, but the gist of the article was that Rivera is pretty much the defacto team President right now. They haven't replaced Bruce Allen, and Snyder has largely removed himself from day-to-day operations, so it has been falling to Rivera - who I think reports directly to Snyder.
perfect! the warchington redhotties betcha they handle this one differently than uncle joe's
