From our cold, dead hands. Our fanbase will start chops on their own if they have to. We don't need music.
The Atlanta Braves will not pass out foam tomahawks at today's game and will "reduce the Tomahawk Chop" after complaints by a Cardinals player claiming the tradition is offensive - WSBTV

It doesn't matter what you feel you are doing, it only matters if it upsets someone... and can they raise enough noise to shame you into quitting or hurt your revenue enough, forcing you to stop.
The pussification of America. Homos running amuck. [Reply]

Your statement is part of the problem. The skin color of most (not all!) of the anthem protesters has nothing to do with people being upset about it. Interjecting race where it does not need to be.

No one gives a shit if a white person is offended. [Reply]

I must have missed the chapter in history class where Vikings were the subject of genocide and had their culture eradicated by the very country that now makes use of a stereotyped version of it. I mean you can say people are being oversensitive and the chop is fine, but this "white people get it too!" take is just worthless.
I'll do the chop now and then, but if it goes I won't miss it. More because it's an FSU chant than anything else. [Reply]
