Major League Baseball’s Texas Rangers should change their team name because of its ties to brutality and racism, a Chicago Tribune columnist argued Thursday. BOSTON RED SOX PROSPECT NOAH SONG ORDERED TO REPORT TO NAVY FLIGHT SCHOOL: REPORT“They burned peasant villages and slaughtered innocents,” Swanson wrote in the book. It should be an intolerable embarrassment to the owners and fans.”The Rangers came into existence in 1972 when the Washington Senators moved from D.C. to Arlington, Texas. ESPN’s Buster Olney also mentioned in his own column earlier this week the Rangers may consider a name change. There hasn’t been much or any clamor for the name change as there has been for a team like the Washington Redskins.
