The Braves’ amazing season could finally kill this thing.
, “I’m still pulling for the Atlanta Braves to win the World Series, but I think it would be good for the country if professional sports teams and fans would honor requests by Native Americans to find less offensive team names and rituals.” None of this stopped the team from regurgitating the routine ad nauseam; it soon began selling foam tomahawks at each of their home games, encouraging fans to brandish them whenever they’d like.
That another historic MLB team has so recently chosen to move away from their controversial branding makes it all the more imperative that the tomahawk chop be done away with. Now that there’s a modern precedent to what the sport considers offensive to Native Americans, Rob Manfred will either have to go the rest of his tenure explaining why the chop doesn’t match up on the offensiveness scale with “Indians” or Chief Wahoo, all while insisting that Cleveland’s nickname had to be changed.
