And? “More of the racist things we do that aren’t talked about will become untenable in polite society” sounds like a win.

“The respectful and correct way to handle this would have been to ban the tomahawks and cease using the music and graphics package that accompanies the chop for the rest of the playoffs.”
Given the 10-spot the Cards put up in the first inning, it looks like there’s not going to be any tomahawk chopping after today until April 2020.
+ 1 fiery march to the sea St. Louis.
He’d be accused of being a virtue signaling, commie SJW snowflake by the Alt Chop faction. Until a foam tomahawk hits a kid’s cotton candy and all discussion stops because the alt choppers declare “Now is not the time to discuss these issues” while stockpiling arsenals of foam tomahawks before Hillary’s emails come to…
+1 city afire
Sick Burn!
Not a Cardinals fan, but fuck the Braves, and lololol at them getting nut-stomped after their whole “We won’t do our racist tomahawk chop thing while the native american dude is pitching”
*Braves give up 10 runs in first inning*
LOLOLOLOL
Apparently God is siding with the Cardinals on this one.
After giving up a 10 spot, the only thing Braves fan will be chopping are their own fucking heads off.
As of 5:24 PM the Cardinals are up 9-0. Go home and take your racist crap with you, Braves.
So... in sum, you admit that the Chop is racist and offensive. After all, if you truly believed that it wasn’t offensively racist, you wouldn’t let one random reliever on another team dictate how you hype up your crowd, right? The next step is admitting that Mr. Helsley- and the rest of us- will be no less offended by…
7-0 Cards with still just 1 out in the top of the first as I type this.
What if a non-Native American pitcher stated that he also thought the tomahawk chop is offensive and in solidarity with Ryan Helsley requested that foam tomahawks, tomahawk graphics, etc. not be used during games in which he is pitching?
Making an half-hearted agreement for the benefit of Native Americans only to renege on major parts of it? It’s the American Way.
In a similarly magnanimous gesture, the Washington Racial Slurs have agreed to not wear their team name or logo when playing against Jim Thorpe’s team.
