Jamie Nye: Next on the chopping block; the tomahawk chop

Ok, call me any name you want but I’m hear to tell you and any one that can listen that the tomahawk chop has to be banned.

Like, stop the game until the fans stop doing it type of banned.

A bunch of fans in Kansas City and Atlanta doing the tomahawk chop with a mock indigenous chant in 2021 need to be retired like the nicknames the Indians and Redskins.

In Mexico, when Canada played Mexico in a World Cup qualifier, there were homophobic chants that had previous drawn the ire of CONCACAF and FIFA and the game was actually stopped until the chants stopped.

Sounds like a good idea to stop the tomahawk chop to me.

The Braves continue to have ‘internal discussions’ about the tomahawk chop, but when it gets to the point of executives starting to ask that question, the answer is already obvious.

Teams are already banning headdresses and war paint because indigenous ceremonial customs shouldn’t be costumes for sports fans. Now say goodbye to the tomahawk chop.
