Redskins is patently offensive, in a way that Indians is not. Whether the Cleveland baseball team should keep the name though is not up to non-native Americans though. I'd say the same goes for The Braves. (I'm not sure there's anything close to consensus among Native Americans though.) Warriors is pretty generic, so I don't really see a huge problem there. My understanding is tribal names are generally endorsed by the tribe--my understanding is the Seminole Nation approves the Florida State mascot.

I'd also point out that not many years ago, the Rays dropped the "Devil" from their name to avoid offending evangelicals I guess, and no one raised a stink.

Because the only people who would raise a stink would be fans.

Freddie Freeman has it and per his wife is experiencing the symptoms (chills, aches and very high fever).

Hope he ends up ok. Ugh.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

Not quite proper without the bottom strap but what a great example from Mike Trout. I'm sure it's not his reasoning but still powerful images

I am a big fan of wearing a mask if only to promote the concept of wearing a mask, glad to see Trout doing this

Is it my imagination or is Trout looking a little chunky?

No more than usual I don't think, but I've always thought that despite his speed and athleticism that he's often been a bit on the fluffy side of the swole spectrum. Obviously it hasn't negatively affected him too much.
