Braves Remove 'Chop On' Sign, No Decision Made on Fan Chant

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves have removed a "Chop On" sign that sat near an entrance to Truist Park and are still considering their stance on the fans' tomahawk chop chant.

The removal of the wooden sign came as the team changed its slogan from "Chop On" to "For The A" for the 2020 season.

A new slogan is customary marketing strategy, but the team's stance on the chant has been watched closely since last year's NL Division Series.

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Ryan Helsley, a member of the Cherokee Nation, said he found the chant insulting.
