Atlanta Braves Tomahawk Chop

[some_guy]

That Tomahawk Chop thing they do at the Atlanta Braves games seems so barbaric and negative. It seems to be that it is counter productive in the Braves organization trying build a winning team. If I were living down there and had a family with young kids I would think it would be child abuse to go to the game with that going on. And I would think it would insult native peoples' culture. And it not like the Braves regularly sell out the stadium. Though it is not as though there are not other negative things in human culture, as US culture.

And last time I googled on it, there did not seem to be a lot of perspectives like mine.

By the way, the Tomahawk chop was derived from Florida State Football.

PS: I was going to post this to this thread but it seems like it would be better as a thread of its own.

One word comes to mind when reading your post. Retard.

You're absolutely right OP. It is very barbaric and negative. The Braves should change their name to the Guidos and adopt the fist pump instead of the tomahawk chop as their signature move

I also like to masturbate. But, I try not to combine that with my love of turtles.

I agree that it's dumb and the whole stadium looks like retards doing their fake indian chanting.

But who the hell really cares?

How did you get it up?

You know we've been hearing for 20 years about this team or that that is disparaging the native American by using it as a mascot, when a team picks a mascot it is to revere that thing, they wish to embody their spirit not mock them. Alright, they take offense, so maybe something can done, but in all reality it is stupid.

OP, *YOU* are what is wrong with society. Taking kids to a stadium and exposing them to the stupid tomahawk chop is now considered child abuse?

Please grow the fuck up. If you don't fucking like it, don't fucking look. I don't see how it is offensive in the least bit.

 

[KeithTalent]

Child abuse? Give me a fucking break.

Apple beware! Trolls are known to be in the area.

I know there have been several High Schools and such that had to change from the "Braves" or similar because they have been taken to court over it.

But the Atlanta Braves can get away with it.

Not that I think it's an issue...mainly just think that those court cases should be tossed unless the name of the team is "Head Scalpers" with an Indian dude as the mascot.

People that do the wave should be kicked out of ballparks.

If you've ever been to a game at a stadium with 50,000 of your fellow fans, anything the crowd does as one contributes to the fun atmosphere. That's all it is.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Believe it or not, this has come up before.

Does Ted Turner still own that team?

 

[CRXican]
