For years, left-leaning sports journalists have been searching for a solution to racism, and they may have finally found it, thanks to the Atlanta Braves.
Keith Law, a writer who focuses on MLB prospects at The Athletic, recently published his rankings of the best farm systems in baseball, along with his top 100 prospects. The article discusses all 30 teams, referring to each of them by their full names. The Baltimore Orioles, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers – they are all mentioned correctly, with the city and team name included.
However, the Atlanta Braves are an exception.
The Braves, ranked as the 26th-best farm system in the sport, are only referred to as “Atlanta.” And in case there was any doubt that this was an accidental omission, the very first sentence also begins with a simple “Atlanta,” excluding the team name.
He has done it, he has found the solution to racism.

Law is well-known for his extreme, left-wing political beliefs. He, along with many other sports journalists like him, constantly searches for ways to demonstrate their moral superiority.
The Cleveland Guardians changed their name, so now the Braves must do the same, apparently. Although it is strange that the left would still be concerned about the name, considering that racism has already been addressed simply by calling the team “Atlanta.”
There has been no indication from Law or the group of progressive sports journalists as to when they will focus their attention on the offense caused by the “Los Angeles Dodgers” team name to tax evaders or fare evaders. Or when he will direct his righteous anger towards the “Notre Dame Fighting Irish,” not to mention the disturbing racism associated with the Washington Commanders, a name that could be seen as glorifying the reprehensible colonialism of European settlers. After all, commanders were the leaders of the armies that devastated indigenous peoples.
Solving racism is always a never-ending challenge for those who adhere to ideological and moral purity.
