Rookie Ryan Helsley's comments after Game 1 about how he found the Braves' 'Tomahawk Chop' chant "a disappointment" and "disrespectful" to his Cherokee heritage prompted the Braves to consider how they promote the cheer and how they could alter their game-day practices as a result of Helsley's thoughts.
quote:
Two officials at the ballpark confirmed that the foam tomahawks were not at the seats in response to Helsley's comments and the conversations the team had as a result of them. There will be other changes during the in-game entertainment and fan interaction involving the "chop" that will be different from games 1 and 2. "We're sensitive to it," a Braves spokesman said.
quote:
In Game 1 of the NLDS, Helsley entered the game with one out in the eighth inning. The Braves had encouraged their fans to join in the "Tomahawk Chop" chant several times throughout the game -- including just before the Braves' lineup was announced -- and did so again in the crucible of that late-inning moment.

Remember when Jane Fonda used to do it flat handed so she wouldn't offend the Indians, but would look like a Nazi instead?

He doesnt speak for all Cherokee. I bet if the Braves cut the Cherokee a check they'd be okay with the chop.

they undoubtedly will. Not giving out little foam tomahawks isn't gonna stop the stadium from doing something they do literally every game.
