I personally think of it as an homage more than anything. We stand for something, stand for each other in the stadium, stand for the team, stand for a rallying cry or pure intimidation, we stand together to enjoy something in unison and let both teams know that we're there. There's no political or religious boundaries. There's no war, poverty, racism, misogyny, or world hunger for those moments, just us. We can worry about life later, at that moment, all the worries go away and when the adrenaline kicks in, it's an amazing experience. I voted Democrat in almost every election that I voted in, and you're not stopping me from doing the chop. Even if the team stopped playing the music, the fans would still carry on the tradition.

It's impossible be racist against white people these days. Learn the rules.

This is kinda my feeling its a ripoff of FSU.

Native Americans have no claim of exclusive right to Chop. The tomahawk is derived from Algonquian word tomahawken meaning used for cutting. Every culture has a tool for cutting. I believe the Chiefs call this The Chop so **** off Indian Nations. I personally dont partake in the chop for reasons I stated at beginning just like I refuse to do the wave also its stupid. If you want to do it knock yourselves out I won't work to stop it. Grow thicker skin.

No its just a name. Would be silly for a sports team comprised of 90% black men though.

Some guy on tv said the name "Cracker" wasn't racist either because it wasn't about race is was about the crack sound of the whip of slavers. Cracker means slave owners. Some stupid shit like that.

People will make it whatever they need to make it.

The Chop unifies the crowd. Its unique and fun. Daunting to opposing fans. I really like it.

Now bring back Rock N Roll part II

That damn drum is racist too

Well I learned something today. I just believe its was like a saltine kinda white.

What if the person cracking the whip was black? I pretty sure every race at onetime has cracked a whip on another.

Its arrowhead stadium for **** sake. What do these mother fathers expect

And again arrowheads aren't exclusive to American Indians.

“The chop itself is the most disgusting thing you can do in sports,” said Amanda Blackhorse of Arizona to Rally Against Native Mascots, a national group opposed to the use of Native American images in sports.




Oh looky here, more victims.

F the hyper sensitive republicans too stupid to know the difference between a liberal and a SJW, just chiming in here because per usual people are roping every left leaning person in with anything they find overly sensitive.

Yeah. I’d say trying to ruin a guys career on an extortion attempt is far more disgusting

How much longer are you going to keep using that culturally misappropriated Native American weapon as your avatar, bitch boy?

I’m not against the Chop. But it is curious that the Chiefs have been slowly toning down the Native American imagery for awhile now......and then they install the drum deck thing....
