USA Today writer who covers Braves “stunned” Braves ownership and MLB commissioner have not renounced name “Braves.”
However: “In an article published on Oct. 18, Nightengale used the ‘Braves’ at least five times. Just two days before Nightengale’s new column criticizing the team’s nickname was published, USA Today retroactively scrubbed any mention of the ‘Braves’ from his column titled ‘Mighty Dodgers are reeling, frustrated after two walk-off NLCS wins for the Braves,’ replacing it with ‘Atlanta.’”
But
but but … Atlanta. Capital of Georgia. Place where duly elected legislators
passed and governor signed that election law hammered by all kinds of
Progressives and which led MLB commissioner to move the 2021 All Star Game to
Denver. Atlanta, the burning of which in “Gone with the Wind” brought tears to the
eyes of hardened Confederate, Secessionist States-Rights movie goers. Goodness.
He was against it before he was for it before he was against it? People of some
political persuasions have short memories.
