With all signs indicating a possible relationship between platinum recording artist and songwriter Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, there are Native Americans who are urging for Swift to use her involvement to end the use of the tomahawk chop by the team's fans.
Swift attended Sunday's game between the Chiefs and the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium as a guest of Kelce, as the pop star was seated in Kelce's family suite alongside his mother, Donna. After the game, a group of Native Americans, led by Rhonda LeValdo of Not In Our Honor, voiced hope that Swift's presence may contribute to their efforts to discourage Chiefs fans from performing the gesture at games.
LeValdo has advocated for discontinuing the Tomahawk Chop celebration and, potentially, reconsidering the Chiefs' team name. "We remain hopeful that an outside influence like Ms. Swift could be an ally for us in moving the conversation forward on why the chop is a racist act," she told TMZ Sports.
"To us, that hand gesture is synchronized racism. We implore Ms. Swift to take the time to understand our perspective and the scientific and psychological research into the harm to youth and communities caused by such behavior."

Hahaha...
At least 3X around here. Never a good choice on ANY menu.
It’s for the rubes, whales and don’t-knows.
I assume “there are Native Americans “ means two or three college queer studies students making trouble enjoying the power wokeism gives them.
MO fans are stubborn SOB’s. We chop if we want. They can PO.
Tell the whining Karens it’s not a Tomahawk Chop, it’s a Karate Chop so STFU !!!
Not a fan of any group here but I would tell the Indians to pound sand and stop exploiting others for their own stupid agenda.
Is she a real woman or a man pretending to be a woman? She kinda looks like both. And I don’t get why she’s famous, either.
Like a lot of people, I had never heard of Taylor Swift until Kanye West absurdly interrupted a music award show to dispute Swift’s victory. She burst into household-name status with that incident.
If they called it The Slot Machine Arm, would the twitette approve?
EC
Two things are happening here
1. She’s using the opportunity to write new songs about a celebrity breakup for a new album
2. Sh’e working for the other teams. She’ll have a very public breakup right before playoffs…which will absolutely hobble him for the games
I’m only partially kidding.
What do you think she’s been doing? Fudge packing?
She’s a huge Trump hater and very woke.
This relationship isn’t lasting. Mommas body language at the game with TS tells all. Momma ain’t impressed.
Fleming has a Tomahawk Tuesday for Twosday.
“ We’ve taken everything you know and love about Tomahawk Tuesday and have taken it to the next level with our new A Taste For Twosday 3-Course Menu. Enjoy your choice of two salads, two sides and two desserts, while now also choosing from two shareable steak entrée selections: our beloved Prime Tomahawk or the new Chef’s Reserve for $140 — Available every Tuesday.”
If people are still doing the Tomohawk Chop, after all the controversy, Taylor Swift is not going to influence it one way or another. Just ask Jane Fonda, photographed chopping at a game with husband Ted Turner some 30 years ago.
They’re troublemakers.
Travis Kelce is now pushing the fake “vaccine” shots via TV commercials
