Atlanta Braves Fans Celebrate World Series Win With Racist Cheer That Won't Go Away

Atlanta Braves fans in Truist Park watched their team win the World Series hundreds of miles away in Houston on Tuesday. Bu the viewing party included a cheer that doesn’t belong anywhere.

A local news reporter posted video of enthusiastic supporters doing the notorious “tomahawk chop” as the team was beating the Houston Astros in Game 6 on the way to its first World Series since 1995.

The synchronized display of chopping lights accompanied by a chant received widespread praise on Twitter, but definitely not from the National Congress of American Indians.
