Far Left Sportswriter Refuses To Use 'Atlanta Braves' Team Name

For years, far-left sportswriters have been searching for a way to solve racism, and they may have finally succeeded, thanks to the Atlanta Braves.

Keith Law, an MLB prospects writer at The Athletic, recently released his ranking of the top farm systems in baseball, along with his top 100 prospects. The article covers all 30 teams, with all of them being referred to by their full names. The Baltimore Orioles, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers, they're all referenced as they should be, with the city and team name listed.

Except for the Atlanta Braves.

The Braves, listed as the 26th-best farm system in the sport, are called just "Atlanta." And in case there was any doubt that it was a mistaken omission, the very first sentence also starts with a simple "Atlanta," excluding the team name. 

He did it, he solved racism.

Atlanta Braves Are The Next Target Of The Far Left

Law is well known for his extremist, far-left political views. And he, and many other sportswriters like him, desperately search for ways to signal their moral superiority. 

The Cleveland Guardians changed their name, so now the Braves must too, apparently. Although it's bizarre the left would even still be  worried about the name, considering racism has already been solved by just calling the team "Atlanta."

There's been no indication from Law or the army of progressive sportswriters when they'll turn their attention to the offense caused to tax dodgers or fare dodgers by the "Los Angeles Dodgers" team name. Or when he'll turn his righteous indignation to the "Notre Dame Fighting Irish." Not to mention the horrifying racism of the Washington Commanders, a name which could be easily viewed as positively referencing the despicable colonialism of European settlers. Commanders, after all, led the armys that decimated indigenous peoples.

Solving racism is always a game of whack-a-mole for the ideological and morally virtuous and pure.
