Just stop the chop. Column, unlocked and free at ESPN: es.pn/3bmX4IX
The best part of writing about the tomahawk chop is the reams of grown adults bleating on about how unfair and wrong it would be for a baseball team to stop encouraging them to wave their arms up and down and cosplay natives and they want to make it seem like you're the soft one.
@JeffPassan Never. Stop being so easily offended. It is in no way demeaning to Native Americans.
@JeffPassan People only give a shit about the Chop if the Braves are in the World Series/Playoffs. It’s one the biggest examples of performative activism I can think of. Nobody cares about it unless they can get clicks from it
@JeffPassan We aren’t going to stop just because the liberal media is triggered by it. Y’all didn’t have a problem with it in the 90s, why just now? Live us a lone and met us do us. Go Braves! Chop On!
@JeffPassan Please tell me you’re not suggesting Acuña, Freeman, and Albies are even a tinge racist for using the chop? Such a pathetic article to write especially right now. And I’m an Astros fan saying this.
@JeffPassan You just wanted something you knew a lot of people would read. #ChopOn
@JeffPassan I legit REFUSE to watch @Braves home games because of that damn chop. One of the most irritating things to listen to. Like… do the fans not hear how annoying that shit is ?
@JeffPassan Welp, bye. You’ve lost a follower for this clickbait of a post.
@JeffPassan Sorry Jeff, as a Native American myself theres no chance or reason for Atlanta to stop the chop for the “woke” media. Get over it
@JeffPassan read the article, it sucked. Completely ridiculous to think that any adult in todays world can be offended by such a meaningless action. We are so thin skinned in todays world. Take the chop away. You all will just move on to be offended by something else.
