The Washington Redskins are reviewing their name. These other sports teams could be next

CNN — As America confronts racism more directly, sports teams with Native American names, mascots or logos are facing pressure to change away from ethnic stereotypes and caricatures. Once known as the Boston Braves, founder George Preston Marshall changed the team’s name to “Redskins” in 1933 to avoid confusion with baseball’s Boston Braves. “The Atlanta Braves relationship with the Native American community goes back many years and over the past several months, we have created an even stronger bond with various Native American tribes, both regionally and nationally, on matters related to the Braves and Native American culture.” The team also said it held meetings with its Native American Working Group to collaborate on issues and “amplify their voices and show our fans they are still proudly here.” The baseball team, originally based in Boston, became the “Braves” in 1912 under new owner James Gaffney.

Starting in the early 20th century, the University of Utah’s sports teams went by various nicknames, including “Indians,” “Utes,” “Redskins” and “Redskin Braves,” and used a caricature mascot known as “Ho-Yo.” The university retired “Ho-Yo” in 1978 and officially adopted “Utes” as the team name with the approval of the tribe, according to the university.
