While attending the World Series, Donald and Melania Trump participated in the Tomahawk Chop.
According to Todd Starnes:
And there’s no doubt that leftists have been triggered from coast to coast like Phil Newberry, a columnist for Associated Press.
“Simply put, the Braves and their co-conspirator are on the wrong side of history, not unlike those who continue to defend the Confederate flag and statues as nothing more than peaceful symbols of Southern heritage,” Newberry wrote.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan is one of the far-left sports writers who. has called on MLB to “stop the chop.”
“The best part of writing about the tomahawk chop is the reams of grown adults bleating on about how unfair and wrong it would be for a baseball team to stop encouraging them to wave their arms up and down and cosplay natives and they want to make it seem like you’re the soft one,” Passan tweeted.

Too funny, like it means anything.
They need to have Chief Hit-a-homer come out of his teepee every HR.
Eh, no one cares. Baseball is a good game that unfortunately gets used by the Left and Right. Who cares what either side thinks when it comes to baseball.
As most World Series pitching has been key. The Braves deserve props. I thought Houston was the better team on paper but they look tired.
love it!!!
and rooting for the "Braves".
With my ethnic heritage, I would be rooting for any team named the "Polacks" or "DPs".
A cousin to the Nazi salute? Oh please. To some people, Trump can do nothing right. They always attribute some nefarious motivation to him. But Biden and Hunter can do no wrong.
CNN produces its usual claptrap:
“Several advocacy groups and observers have accused the chant of mocking Native American groups and decried it as racist. But many Braves fans, including Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, have dismissed the criticism, and the stadium has led the fans in doing the chant in both Games 3 and 4 of the series.
Trump has frequently sought to capitalize politically on such controversies as part of an effort to galvanize the White voters who make up much of his political base.”
“It was Chief NocaHoma IIRC”
Your recollection is correct.
The Cherokee Indians here in GA are fine with the Braves and do not care about the chop.
The Atlanta Braves have a relationship with the Eastern Band of Cherokee in North Carolina.

Just like FSU has a relationship with the Seminole Nation of Florida. Real indians have no problem with the chop.
Nice, thanks!
I have grown up among the Cherokee here in N. Ga (and am 1/16 Cherokee myself), and my best friend growing up was Ute. I can tell you that in my decades as a Braves fan and being among Native Americans, this is NOT an issue. Every Indian I know personally here in GA is a Braves fan 🙂
LOL, Bernard.
What happened to the Left’s ‘tolerance’, by the way?
