Too much "wokeness"
We combed through every team name in Major League Baseball and came up with something to be offended by. Time to be better. You're welcome.
Atlanta Braves - Bravery is offensive and reckless-- especially during a pandemic. Baseball isn't brave. Do you know what's brave? Wearing a mask.
Miami Marlins - As always, marlins get all the attention while squid and tuna populations remain marginalized and invisible.
New York Mets - The proper present-tense form is "meets."
Philadelphia Phillies - The Liberty Bell logo has to go. It's the current year, for goodness' sake.
Washington Nationals - Nationals sounds an awful lot like "white nationalists" to us.
Chicago Cubs - Bears are noble creatures and have NOT given their consent to be your mascot.
Cincinnati Reds - Red is the color of MAGA hats.
Milwaukee Brewers - Offensive to those struggling with alcohol addiction-- or gluten intolerance.
Pittsburgh Pirates - Stealing music is not OK. You wouldn't download a car, would you?
St. Louis Cardinals - Offensive to those oppressed by the Catholic Church.
Arizona Diamondbacks - Snakes are triggering to many archaeology professors.
Colorado Rockies - Rocky Balboa was an Italian-American immigrant who worked hard and became successful—which plays into right-wing tropes about "picking yourself up by your bootstraps." Not ok.
Los Angeles Dodgers - Trump was a draft dodger and to think that a team would name themselves after him is frankly disgusting.
San Diego Padres - Gendered and Catholic. Just like in baseball, two strikes and you're out.
San Francisco Giants - Offensive to the differently heighted.
Baltimore Orioles - The name's OK but the team is pretty offensive to the idea of baseball in general.
Boston Red Sox - No one needs yet another reason to hate the Red Sox.
New York Yankees - No one needs yet another reason to hate the Yankees.
Tampa Bay Rays - Florida.
Toronto Blue Jays - Blue is a reference to the police, which should be defunded. #DefundTheBlueJays
Chicago White Sox - White socks worn with sandals are offensive to the human race.
Cleveland Guardians - Appropriates the culture of the Guardians of the Galaxy, an oppressed group of illegal aliens.
Detroit Tigers - "Tiger" is the catchphrase of Sagat, an oppressed Thai MMA fighter.
Kansas City Royals - Not offensive, just reminds us of that annoying Lorde song.
Minnesota Twins - Twins evokes the number "two," a painful reminder of the gender binary.
Houston Astros - We don't need to be honoring space travel when there are plenty of problems on earth to worry about.
Los Angeles Angels - Offensive to atheists.
Oakland Athletics - Offensive to couch potatoes.
Seattle Mariners - Offensive to old sailors ranting to random wedding guests about their wild sea voyages.
Texas Rangers - Texas? REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Now go jeer at your local baseball team while you eat a $12 hot dog! That'll show 'em!

Well, in my view there is nothing really offensive for any of these and it's all in the fun of the game anyway... Some people don't like Red Socks (Sox), or New York City, (New York), but that is who they are! Let's get off the "Offensive" B.S. as it is divisive and there are too many who want to divide us in order to conquer us, and make us slaves to our own government...
