Read yesterday that investment firms with $600b in assets are pushing Nike, FedEx, and Pepsi to force the Redskins to change the name or to cut ties with them. That's where the pressure is coming from.
There’s a New York Rangers and Texas Rangers. Let’s get Pride done. Or make them the Cobras and give them Cobra Kai-type uniforms.
Nah we Gucci. We have a wonderful relationship with the Seminole tribe of Florida and consult them on everything brand-related.
Yeah, don't they have permission/sponsorship to use the name? I would also think Braves would be okay because the name doesn't have a demeaning tone to it.
So does the Central Michigan Chippewas and their tribe. Only two schools with those nicknames any longer in NCAA.
Anyone asking FSU to change their name is uneducated on the subject. The Seminole tribe opposed a name change last time it came up people asking for it to be changed. The tribe also approved Osceola and the tribe also designs what he wears on the field
Here is some background on the relationship between FSU and the Seminole tribe. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there are some changes, however I doubt anything happens to the name as long as the official Seminole tribe is on board. https://unicomm.fsu.edu/messages/relationship-seminole-tribe-florida/
Some random guy saying what’s next everyone named John has to change their name because that’s what they call a prostitutes client?
Obviously one person supporting it doesn’t mean the whole group does, but: “Subsequently, Chief Jerry Haney of the Seminole Tribe of Oklahoma also publicly stated his support.”
I get Braves is bad from a Native American appropriation standpoint but it’s a cool mascot name as far as being an admirable quality
