The Atlanta Braves are a professional baseball franchise competing in Major League Baseball in the league's East division. The history of the Atlanta Braves goes back to 1871 when they were based in Boston, Massachusetts, and known as the Boston Red Stockings. The team had many name changes and was finally renamed to the Atlanta Braves in 1966. During a 2020 survey in the United States, eight percent of respondents found the team name and imagery very offensive as it is seen to perpetuate negative stereotypes of Native American people.
