    Indigenous people call BS on MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred
    Rob Manfred said on Tuesday that the Atlanta Braves' local Native American community is fully supportive of the team, including its infamous Tomahawk Chop chant. It took less than 24 hours for one of the country's largest Native rights organizations to contradict him.





    Remember how they lie to you as you enjoy the World Series.

                      The tomahawk chop, rubber-stamped earlier this week by the commissioner of baseball

                      World Series 2021: It's past time for the Atlanta Braves to move on from the chop

                      by Jeff Passan ESPN
                      In an age when other franchises are dropping offensive names, logos and rituals, the chop lives on in Atlanta. When will the Braves see the light -- or baseball step in?


                      On Tuesday, Major League Baseball delivered a weak, mealy-mouthed affirmation of the chop, a staple at Atlanta Braves games, which relied on canyon-sized gaps of logic and epitomized the tail wagging the dog. And as Truist Park hosts the Braves and Houston Astros in Games 3, 4 and 5 of the World Series this weekend, a vast-majority-white crowd will pack a stadium in the middle of the suburbs, bend their arms 90 degrees from vertical to horizontal and scream in defiance of those who see it for what it is.

                            I was at the Florida state game this week where they honored some members of the tribe. They walked out doing the chop and didn’t seem to have much of a problem with it. Maybe it’s only racist in baseball

                                Yeah I don't get it either for baseball. They have teams named Spartans, Trojans, Aztecs, Vikings, Canucks, etc and no one is complaining. I guess if the indigenous people are dead no one cares anymore.

                                  Jimmy seems to be playing rock-hammer-scissors instead of chopping scalps because if he thinks he's chopping then he doesn't get it.

                                        Fox has no problem showing 60,000+ chopping and chanting all night. This country lets the 2% woke population have way too much control.

                                          I've only seen bits and pieces of the game but I noticed that they keep the camera on the batter during the chant.

                                            Donald Trump Takes Part in Contentious 'Chop' at Braves-Astros World Series Game

                                            Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred defended the fan celebration to reporters on October 26. Manfred said the team had the support of local native Americans.

                                            The latest news and headlines from Yahoo! News. Get breaking news stories and in-depth coverage with videos and photos.


                                            “He (Trump) called MLB and wanted to come to the game,’’ Atlanta Braves CEO Terry McGuirk said. “We were very surprised. Of course, we said yes.’’

                                            McGuirk said Trump would not be sitting with MLB or team officials.

                                            According to Braves CEO Terry McGuirk, Trump had surprised Major League Baseball officials by calling and telling them that he wanted to come to the game. Trump will not watch the game with MLB or Braves officials, and will instead watch from his own suite.

                                            McGuirk stated that the New York billionaire-turned 45th President of the United States was very much welcome at the ballpark.

                                            "We are apolitical,'' McGuirk said. "We're open to anyone coming. It's great that he wants to come to our game.''
