Now that the NFL’s Washington Redskins, shamed by their many-decades’ racial insensitivity, are unveiling their new mascot, it is clear that Major League Baseball cannot avoid the virtuous mascot-toppling that will make our world a safer, kinder, gentler, more understanding place.
In addition to the Cleveland Indians, the Atlanta Braves, and the Texas Rangers, these teams must immediately consider mascot modification:
Giants: insensitive to midgets
Mets: insensitive to rural-dwellers
Brewers: insensitive to teetotalers
Twins: insensitive to single-child families
Nationals: insensitive to globalists
Astros: insensitive to agoraphobiacs
Royals: insensitive to commoners
Padres: insensitive to Protestants
Pirates: insensitive to law-abiders
A’s: insensitive to illiterates
Reds: insensitive to Whites, Blacks, and Browns
Yankees: insensitive to the Artist Formerly Known as Dixie Chicks.
The MLB cannot expect a fan base in our new enlightened world if they persist in their callous mascot insensitivities.
