ATLANTA — The Tomahawk Chop isn’t going anywhere yet … but what if it did?
Pressure is mounting outside Atlanta for the Braves franchise to dissociate itself from its Native American connections. Some critics have called for the team to end the Tomahawk Chop, while others have gone further and floated the idea of a complete rebrand, tomahawks, team name and all.
Atlanta won’t getting rid of the chop this weekend; well over a dozen choreographed and impromptu chops broke out over the course of Game 3 Friday night. The Braves will also remain the Braves at least through the end of the World Series.
