1912, Jan 3. - The Atlanta Braves are really named after white men who played Indian.

The Sandusky Journal   1/3/1912

Contrary to popular opinion, the Boston Braves (Atlanta Braves) were NOT named after the brave Indians of the Northeast. Nope. They were named after the guys who dressed up and played Indians in secret societies, all-the-while allowing the country to kill the "Real" Indians and take all their lands.
