Redirect Atlanta Braves?

I don't think so. RJFJR 18:34, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

When (year) was he replaced by Homer and Rally? RJFJR 18:34, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

POV[edit]

This is poorly sourced and reads like a press release. It also completely glosses over any question of the offensiveness of the mascot as "political correctness" 24.18.25.4 (talk) 17:13, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your claim of racism is your own POV. Find a valid source for it. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 17:23, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Stereotyping" is a better term. To state flatly that "stereotyping" equates to "racism" is a POV-push. They are not precisely the same thing. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 04:51, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stereotyping is racism. Cited for the ostrich with his head in the sand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.127.3.249 (talk) 14:03, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Neither one is good, but they are not equivalent. You've been brainwashed. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 14:47, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Meh, the source says otherwise. Guess you should read up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.15.94.139 (talk) 00:36, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Source[edit]

I think it's likely that the name also makes reference to the Winnebago names "Nakomis" or "Nakoma", popularized in Longfellow's "Song of Hiawatha", used in the marketing of "Lake Nakoma" in the 1900s and the development of Nakoma district and the Nakoma Country Club in Madison, Wisconsin in the 1910s and 20s. I don't have a specific reference for the connection, though. --Dystopos (talk) 13:58, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had always assumed that the name derived from "knock a homer," exhorting the batter to hit a home run. WHPratt (talk) 17:42, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WHPratt The source from the 60s says the Braves had a name contest and the name was created exactly how you thought. Nemov (talk) 18:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I was surprised that the article didn't mention that. WHPratt (talk) 20:12, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
