Looks like the Texas Rangers baseball team will need to get a new name. What would you rename to?

Texas Ranger statue at Love Field removed over concerns about the depicted lawman’s racist history

A new book about the Rangers’ nearly 200-year history, which includes episodes of police brutality and racism, led city officials to take action.

Kind of funny in a way.... I wrote an article back several years ago demanding that the Rangers change their name because of an imperfect past when the NCAA was demanding mascot changes all over the place. I studied under one of the most prominent historians of Mexican-Texan history and still count him as a good friend. I need to send him this. He'll get a chuckle.

City's a mess in many ways.
Fly out of DFW.

Ridiculous. If the lawmen were celebrated for their racism, that would be one thing, but they aren’t. Hell, the iconic fictional Ranger famously was friends with a POC.

How about "The Texas Benign"

Do you now where the term Red Raider came from?

It wasn't until 1936 that Texas Tech fans and students came to be called "Red Raiders." Collier Parrish, sports editor of the Lubbock Morning Avalanche, gave the team its new nickname because of their all-red uniforms and rigorous coast-to-coast schedule.
