    I was hoping to see the Braves win it all last night. With the crowd giving the chop to the media, it was great!

    Yep! And they are the ones who used to be so in line with Martin Luther King Jr. Strange how they have become so racist themselves.

    At least this site doesn’t censor Atlanta’s celebration. One place I was at actually suspended me for posting you tube video of Trump doing it.

    The racist chop was alive and well at Monday Night Football. Don’t think any Chiefs fans complain too much about it. Actually they love it.

    What we need to start doing instead of rationalizing this is when someone says they're offended by what someone else does that isn't directed at them.

    Look them dead in the eye and as candidly as you possibly can ask them "so what?"

    I'm from Houston so I was rooting for the Astros but I don't care where the cheer came from and where it came from isn't relevant that's what they do to support their baseball team.

    If it offends people why does anyone care? People are going to be offended by everything so let them be offended.

    Exactly. The fans and the players are truly the only ones that matter. If none of it bothers them why the **** are we listening to a bunch of mostly white Leftists complaining about something they have zero personal investment in? There definitely aren’t enough native Americans giving a **** because they wouod have made a bigger stink decades ago. The ONLY reason we even hear about it now is because Leftist activists stick their nose where it doesn’t belong. The Redskin organization are a bunch of pathetic hacks, bending over. Now the activists are emboldened to force everyone else to do their delusional bidding. Sad.

    My great great grandmother was full blood Cherokee. I never viewed or even suspected the chop was racist. I always thought it celebrated Native American warrior bravery and determination (after all, they put up a valiant fight in the 1700's and 1800's despite having lost 60-85% of their population to disease since 1492).

    Most all of this crap originates from woke white people telling various groups that they are the victims of racism. I remember a few years ago reading a poll which showed the majority of black people didn't really care about Confederate statues and didn't think of them as offensive to them. I have also seen numerous small BLM protests pop up here and there and about 80% of them are white people.
