Swastikas are the symbols Japan uses on it’s maps to identify a temple. These are used even today.

While the Nazi Party may have started in 1919, it really didn’t take form until the 1930s, but regardless of that,
the Swastika, one of Heathenism’s oldest and most holy of symbols has been around for centuries and throughout the world long before its misuse by the Nazi’s, including being part of the Native American culture. This sacred image representied a legend that was used in their healing rituals. I suspect this is where it came from in terms of being worn ny the 1914 Braves’ bad boys..

+1 jnding. You are correct - the hooked cross was used in many places in the USA before the 1940s.

And let me get this straight… some of you are piling on the Boston Braves because they wore a swastika FIFTEEN YEARS before Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party took over Germany?!

We are talking about baseball players, not psychics, right?

Doffing means “taking off.” The word you’re looking for is “donning.”

So the fact that they acquired Evers that season from the Cubs, and he was NL MVP, had NOTHING to do with their turnaround?

It’s a shame how innocent symbols and words become objects of hate and intolerance when put in the wrong hands.

The word nigger comes from the word Niger which simply means black.

Fag has multiple meanings none of which until the last 30 years had anything to do with disparaging homosexuals

And swastika was a symbols of good fortune.

I take from this that anything in the wrong hands can be very dangerous.
