Texas Rangers name should go, writes WaPo global opinions editor
Washington Post Global Opinions editor Karen Attiah in an op-ed published Monday called on the Texas Rangers baseball team to change its name, writing that the history of the Texas Rangers means calling them that name is "not so far off from being called the Texas Klansmen."

"The Rangers oppressed black people, helping capture runaway slaves trying to escape to Mexico; in the aftermath of the Civil War, they killed free blacks with impunity," wrote Attiah, who grew up in Texas and went to Rangers games as a child.
