Almost forgot -- in fact, Texans were so proud of their Rangers they once had a television series based on them.

What business is it of The WASHINGTON Post to tell a TEXAS team what to call themselves?

The Texas Rangers are a source of pride to the Texans -- or have been until the screwballs with nothing better to do than whine took it upon themselves to stick their nose in other people's business.

I know. And what I do is none of their business either!

Seriously though, there are certain things which are regional. The Texas Rangers fall in that category of things that I think only a Texan can really appreciate. Their reputation is legendary and they're not seen in the same way as standard police. It's an aura of the "Old West". But I guess you'd have had to grow up watching "The Lone Ranger" and "Tales of the Texas Rangers" to appreciate it. And even I don't fully get the mystique because I'm not a Texan.

What's next? The Raiders must change their name due to association with violent pirates? The Buccaneers? The Minnesota Timerberwolves are also associated with a violent species that preys on the weak! LOL Fucktwits will see problems with EVERYTHING

Opinion: The Tampa Bay Rays team name must go.

Ray is a common white person name unless it is preface by some type of superlative like "Sweet Baby" or "Cash Money".

Opinion: The Washington Nationals team name must go.

The team name signals to the general populace that Nationalism is OK and by extension White Nationalism should be tolerated.

Opinion: The Oakland? A's team name must go.

It reinforces the idea that only academic perfection should be celebrated. This is a common ideology present in White and Asian households.

From what I understand, Texan's love their Rangers and their history. I also believe that Texans aren't very receptive to being told what to do.

Any Texan's here want to comment?

Opinion: The Cincinnati Reds team name must go.

Using the term Reds is a dog whistle indicating that communists should be rounded up and kept in concentration camps.

Why the fuck would these non-sports watching fucktards even care what name a sports team is? Will they be buying more season tickets and preferred parking with these name changes? Perhaps they'll buy a lot more jerseys? What a bunch of assclowns.

Opinion: The Milwaukee Brewers team name must go.

Brewers is a trade that has a very low employment rate of black and POC persons.

Opinion: The Chicago Black Sox team name must go.

This is violent language that infers that Black People should be struck in the head (socked).

Opinion: The LA Dodgers team name must go.

It brings up the connotation of draft dodgers such as Donald Trump who should not be held up as heroes, unless they vote Democrat.

Opinion: The Chicago Cubs team name must go.

America keeps cubs in cages and displays them zoos like animals for the purpose of human entertainment.

Opinion: The New York Mets team name must go.

Metropolitan is a term indicating those in high society that are responsible for systemic racism in today's world.
