The Atlanta Braves front office decided to take a knee on their fans and traditions.

Meanwhile St. Louis hired Tonya Harding to kneecap the Braves and they are about to get smoked out of the playoffs.... 13 - 1 in the 8th

You're rooting for the wrong team.

quote:

Rookie Ryan Helsley's (StL) 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.

You know when a team chooses a mascot, they tend to choose strength and winners, sports team that choose a group of people as mascot, is not an insult. Quite the opposite, it is a real honor.

Are the fans supposed to wear foam dreamcatchers?

The way that pitcher describes how the tomahawk and chant makes him feel about his people is pitiful.

Honestly, I think native Americans from centuries ago were pretty tough and badass. I don't see what he describes.

This.

I was never a Die Hard fan, but Bob Horner was the man back then. Good memories from Grade School.

They will be the Atlanta "Air Hubbers" or "Soda Makers" before you can say, "Jack Robinson."

Get woke, go broke.

(ETA: Or if they want to go all SJW, they can be the Smoldering Ruins...)

Wouldn’t doubt it if team thought this was a bunch of political crap and so they played like crap because of it?

Because he’s lying, he wasn’t offended by any of this until someone told him to be.

John Rocker formed the Atlanta Braves? He seems a little young to have named the team and I’m not sure he even made any remarks about native Americans but carry on.
