Atlanta Braves Axe Tomahawk Chop

I’m delighted that the Atlanta Braves were ignominiously ejected from the playoffs yesterday in a 13-1 home drubbing by the St Louis Cardinals in decisive game 5 of a divisional series. The Braves deserve it, after knuckling under to the bullies by agreeing to abandon the team’s traditional Tomahawk Chop:

Cardinals rookie pitcher Ryan Helsley, who is of Cherokee descent, had criticized the chant, calling it “a disappointment.”

In addition to abandoning the chant, at least as long as Helsley was in the game, the Braves also agreed to refrain from playing the music that normally accompanied the chant.

No foam tomahawks either. The Braves released an official tweet:

Fans did the chant anyway, but it was no use. The Braves had already surrendered in spirit. This was reflected in the final score.

Ever since the Cleveland Indians shamefully caved to PC bullies and dumped Chief Wahoo, the Tomahawk Chop has been living on borrowed time. Within a year or two, fans will be ejected from the stadium for making tomahawk gestures. Maybe they will even get banned indefinitely, like the guy who made an okay sign at a Cub’s game.

Despite Helsley’s crybullying, traditions associated with teams like the Indians and the Braves are not disrespectful to Indian heritage, but rather celebrate it. Teams have names that are supposed to engender respect. We have the Eagles and Patriots, not the Pigeons and the Moonbats.

This is not about not offending, but about the thought police forcing compliance with the various arbitrary taboos of the liberal religion, in order to establish social dominance.

Since no one stands up to PC bullies anymore, eventually the Indians and the Braves will change their name. Indians will be a step closer to being forgotten.
