The famous Tomahawk Chop — demonstrated above — is the Atlanta Braves’ rally cry and signature celebration. But at Tuesday’s Game 1 of The World Series, a white Houston Astros fan saw signs of white rage in the Chop.
The Astros were caught cheating after winning their first franchise World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2017, and it looks like this year they’re taking one out of the Democrat playbook.
The braves won this matchup 6-2.

The teams will play on Friday in Atlanta where “racist” voter ID laws that Joe Biden referred to as “Jim Crow on steroids”, were what MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred used as the reason to pick a new venue for the 2021 All-StarGame.

Fate loves irony.
Fox News reports that Manfred actually defends the Chop saying,
Manfred: The Native American community in that region is wholly supportive of the Braves program, including 'The Chop.' For me, that’s kind of the end of the story. In that market, we’re taking into account the Native American community."
