Chop-chop, Atlanta Braves.
No, we’re not celebrating the team’s victory against the Houston Astros with that offensive gesture.
Don’t get us wrong. We’re happy for the World Series champs, who gave us exciting post-season baseball.
And yes, we’re just a little bit happier because they beat that Houston team, after the Astros knocked our own White Sox out of the playoffs.
But now that the series is behind us, we’re hoping the Braves’ management doesn’t waste time: Throw the “tomahawk chop” out of the park once and for all.
It was disheartening during the games to watch a sea of mostly white fans, including former President Donald Trump, embody and embrace an ugly stereotype of our country’s indigenous people with each slicing motion.
