They had a big problem with the Irish in Blazing Saddles...

Neither is being Native American. :shrug:

**** I’ve trained all 3 of my dogs to sing the chop. I’ll give up the chop when they pry the tomahawk from my cold dead hands

You lot just make this shit up on the fly, or is it all written down somewhere?

The Star is out of touch. The excessive PC stuff is so five years ago.

I have heard this for years and I keep waiting for someone to come up with an original idea. Everyone keeps complaining about the chop and laments that we should find something new but when it comes to a recommendation for that something new, I hear nothing but crickets.

Until then...I will keep doing the chop.

So....Kansas City Crackers?

Replace the chop with a golf practice swing?

CP Planet demands KC Star fire the reporter

As someone part Indian I don't go to games because I prefer my 60inch, but the chop with our crowd is intimidating. Nothing the chiefs represent is disparaging.

Just useless woke culture. The chiefs need to ban all kcstar staff.

Florida State does the Tomahawk Chop and uses all of the Injun imagery and the Seminole Tribe in Florida embraces and supports it.

So maybe the KC Star Editorial Board should go talk to real Injuns.

The Native Americans can have all of this stuff back as soon as they give me all of my money back that they practically stole at the virtual roulette table inside Down Stream Casino.

Sure, we can do that. There's just one catch; I'm the guy picking the new tradition.

And my new tradition involves a party of no less than 50 Chiefs fans armed with lead pipes and baseball bats paying your sports department a visit every time you print a bullshit story about any of the players, or when your written work can't hold my attention from start to finish.

Deal?

Which reporter?

We have many Native Americans in the area I live and several that enjoy football are Chiefs' fans simply because they think the team embraces and represents part of their culture. I don't see any of them bitching about the chop. They may agree that it's not especially representative of anything culturally, but they sure don't find it offensive. KC Star continues to be a bunch of idiots.
