Right! Because all of us know for sure that Hank didn't "juice".
May he rest in peace.

While I don't think a change is necessary, if you've already decided internally that a change is in the offing, this is the move:

While I personally disagree that Braves is on its face “racist,” it has caused a conversation around race.

And, there are very few better to name your team after than Hank Aaron if you are trying to address that conversation.

I think Hammers is really great.

I'd say betting odds favor Kings as it's a nod to both Aaron and MLK.

i could be wrong, but i think the bigger issue was the imagery of the mascot, more so than the name (obviously the two are interconnected tho)

Something should be named after Sid Bream...or at least his mustache.
