The Chop is Changing... Barely

[Pointer19]

I know there was a thread about face paint, headdresses, and Warpaint, but here’s an update on the Chop.

https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/sam-mellinger/article245608310.html

...

Native Americans will bless the big ceremonial drum like always, and before the drumbeat starts an announcement will be made that incorporating the drum into the game-day experience is a “privilege” and that fans are invited to join as they beat the drum.

The cheerleaders will then do the same chop motion, but with a closed fist instead of open palm. You know, signaling the beating of the drum.

Your privilege to be a fan.

I'm just happy that the tens of people who were offended by the chop can finally live the rest of their lives in peace.

[Spott]

Cheerleaders prefer the fist.

As an advocate for Drums, I am highly offended that the Cheerleaders are pretending to beat poor defenseless Drum..

It’s really just the KC Star Editorial Board who are offended.

[Red Dawg]

The world has gone full on stupid.

[TwistedChief]

Boo hoo. Bunch of snowflakes gonna whine because they're no longer encouraged to do an open-handed chop.

[bobhill]

Chief Wahoo and Ric Flair do not approve

[kcclone]

And literally zero fans will close their hands so whatev

it's a slippery slope... before we know it you will have transgender boys stomping girls in their sporting events... Oh wait...

[TwistedChief]

And apparently TwistedChief:

I'm only offended at people's taking offense at being gently encouraged to no longer do the chop. That's about as benign as it gets, but those complaining about others' complaining about everything need to look in the mirror.

Personally, I couldn't care any less about any of it.

[Rain Man]

Objectively, I enjoy shaking my fist in the air.

I have a weak chopping motion so this is good news

It’s not about the chop.

People like you just don’t fucking get it. The mob is never satisfied. They will come for everything.

Exactly. Not sure why that's difficult to understand

[Halfcan]

So it is better to simulate a violent punch towards our opponants?

No, this is slow motion air drumming with no high hats.

So now it will look like we’re all jerking off giant cocks?

[Halfcan]

No, this is slow motion air drumming with no high hats.

So it is the KC Dr(um)op now instead of the chop?

I thought the issue was; the fans were misappropriating Native American culture, not open plam / closed fist.

Maybe they can play the Barney theme instead and we can simulate hugs!

[KCbroncoHATER]

Dance monkey dance.

[Hammock Parties]

I'm going to pronate my wrist to own the libs!

[TwistedChief]

People like you just don’t fucking get it. The mob is never satisfied. They will come for everything.

And now you can no longer wear makeup to the game and are no longer encouraged to jerk off with an open hand. The mob has clearly won and your life has irretrievably changed.

This can be a DC thread easily because of the players right of expression tangent

Dude, I don’t care about the fucking chop or NA imagery. If it stops there, fine. But it won’t. The name/logo and “Arrowhead Stadium” will have to go eventually. Even then I still don’t care that much. It’s the way that woke ideology has infested every aspect of our culture/lives.

Can you fucking read? Or would you rather play ignorant like you did about BLM being Marxist because facing the truth is too difficult?

[Halfcan]

It is a privilage to pay a ridiculous price for parking and tickets, sit in pod with your mask on, and do the fist chop when you are cued to do so!!

[eDave]

Come on dudes. This is a perfect compromise without losing any meaning and enthusiasm. This team is hitting on all cylinders and it's pretty amazing. Sideline all that muck and mire and enjoy the show we all came here because of.

And you *still* don't know what a Marxist is...if you did, and you heard someone say they are a "trained Marxist," you'd be like anyone else who understood what a Marxist is and say, "So what?"

Outliers like that lend themselves to sharpen the edge. Outliers, by definition, are to be dismissed thereby removing the edge resulting in a smoother agreement. Art Of The Deal and all that nonsense bears this out (As you know). Which leads us to wonder why you even made your statement at all.

Back in the day we used to really tailgate. Throw the football around, get pumped up for the game. We would paint our faces up, wear our Zubas, some would put on headresses- it was like going to war. It was an event every Sunday. We would chop when DT got a big sack- yell- "gonna beat the hell out of you!" It was rowdy, fun, and the Loudest stadium in the NFL. Heck, even KC Wolf would ride out and stomp some ass. The team fed off the fans energy. Teams hated us and dreaded coming here.

Now, unfortunately, it is just a hollow copy of the original. It is about corporate sponsorship, maximum profit, social justice for convicts and political correctness. Park in your spot, no throwing the football around, patdowns and long lines to get in, wear your mask, stay in your pod, no individuality because it might upset someone from the East coast, chop with a closed hand and apologize for it- then clear out--thanks for coming.

Yes, I miss the good ol' days- it was some of the finest times of my life with my best buds. We have an amazing team now and Mahomes- which still makes it worth going- but it is a watered down event now. So, if some of us old-timers get tired of seeing the Game Day Experience chiseled away by social justice warriors, who probably don't even watch football- this is why.

Next, it wll be the name Chiefs, the logo, Arrowhead being renamed- and a legacy of Chiefs football will be completely erased.

[stevieray]

encouraging to do the chop with a closed fist?

LMAO


what a complete and utter joke this has all become.

it's hardly about football at this point.

[tyecopeland]

Similar to brc thread focusing on the rules on masks and social distancing, I'm sure there is going to be video of a lot of people not doing it with a closed first and then it will outright banned because people didn't follow the rules.

[BWillie]

As some one with Scandinavian decent, The Viking horn helmets those wear in Minnesota is very offensive to me. I cannot go on with this occurring up there appropriating my heritage.

[ChiefBlueCFC]

I was once punched by a fist, and I find this offensive

[InChiefsHeaven]

What if you wear the headdress and claim to be Native Indian...I mean...you could...

If a Native Indian wore facepaint and the head dress, how would they handle that? I kinda wanna see it now...

[Fish]

Pat yourselves on the backs, folks. We did it. We've just defeated racism.

Also our heritages are becoming a mockery. First it is syrup, but everyone looks the other way at this.

As someone with English heritage, I am appalled and very upset.

just another result of the hovering cancel culture mob.

Much of what is playing out are reactions, based upon fear more than anything.

I was hoping it was kind of "don't call us, we'll call you" allegory.

[big nasty kcnut]

I'm still going to do the chop my ancestors on my mom side were indians and they wouldn't be complaining about this. They would be complaining about lack of virgins to sacrifice.

[RealSNR]

Not for nothing, but The Chop is ****ing stupid anyway.

I agree, but you and I are in the minority opinion on this one.

Granted, I live away from KC and don't come down to Arrowhead all that often to watch games. It means a lot more to people who are season ticket holders and have grown up with the Arrowhead experience and all of its traditions.

Granted, the Tony DiPardo band used to be a tradition. And Gary Glitter.

I guess... dunno... things come and go. Change happens. I'm not going to shit on people for appreciating and not wanting to get rid of the chop, but I do think it's also not something worth getting outraged over.

And I'm going to stop my post here for fear of treading into political waters.

Before rhe season is over we all might not give a crap about NFL

[KCbroncoHATER]

Most of my friends who have season tickets are going to decide after this season if they are going to continue buying tickets after that. Some of them have told me that they will reduce the number of tickets they have and sell the rest next season. After that, the tickets might not be worth holding on to for resale on the open market. We are all in agreement that this is the worst thing that the NFL could have done to football.

I would disagree. The target demo is 17-40. That age is growing increasingly "woke" and gives a shit about that stuff. And they don't really care about sports to begin with (the 17-25 year olds) so it might actually be smart marketing to use progressive culture and shock wokeness to cross sell to them. Then they might start to care about football.

But all of our 60 yr old+ members at Chiefsplanet aren't going to stop watching Mahomes and the Chiefs just because the NFL has moved from the right to the left in public political image.

I don't like it, but hard to say it's bad business in the LONG RUN.

[scho63]

Everyone should turn on their cell phones and simultaneously all sit there not chopping but play the chop song on the phones at a predetermined time!

Just a complete awesome sound!

Hold on a second, the Kansas City Indian Center? I thought the term Indian was racist since Cleveland changed their name or is going to remove it.

I think we should pressure every large fortune 500 company to change any title that has the word "chief" in it, since, you know, it's so racist.

There are chief officers in the military, marine, corporate titles, educational titles, even **GASP!** government. There is currently a Chief Administrative Officer of the house! CHIEF! HOLY SHIT and get this. They have been both democrats and republicans. CALL THE COPS

Back in the day we used to really tailgate. Throw the football around, get pumped up for the game. We would paint our faces up, wear our Zubas, some would put on headresses- it was like going to war. It was an event every Sunday. We would chop when DT got a big sack- yell- "gonna beat the hell out of you!" It was rowdy, fun, and the Loudest stadium in the NFL. Heck, even KC Wolf would ride out and stomp some ass. The team fed off the fans energy. Teams hated us and dreaded coming here.

Now, unfortunately, it is just a hollow copy of the original. It is about corporate sponsorship, maximum profit, social justice for convicts and political correctness. Park in your spot, no throwing the football around, patdowns and long lines to get in, wear your mask, stay in your pod, no individuality because it might upset someone from the East coast, chop with a closed hand and apologize for it- then clear out--thanks for coming.

Yes, I miss the good ol' days- it was some of the finest times of my life with my best buds. We have an amazing team now and Mahomes- which still makes it worth going- but it is a watered down event now. So, if some of us old-timers get tired of seeing the Game Day Experience chiseled away by social justice warriors, who probably don't even watch football- this is why.

Next, it wll be the name Chiefs, the logo, Arrowhead being renamed- and a legacy of Chiefs football will be completely erased.


this exactly, was gonna write the same thing, think ive gone to my last game anyways. they have completely ruined the old experience, political correctness will ruin everything fun for the feelings of a few stuck up pussies.

Good idea!! I was a CWO4. That's CHIEF Warrant Officer. I was addressed as "Chief" or "Mister"

Damn...I hope I didn't piss anyone off....................

[InChiefsHeaven]

I missed a game this year for the first time in a long time, because of the 'Rona. I only go to one game per year, and I'll put up with stupid shit I guess, because I'm that fan...the one who just wants to be there for the game, to take it all in and enjoy the hell out of myself. The SJW stuff will start to die down. I just think it will, I don't know why. But, it's getting to the point where driving down from Omaha and paying for a ticket and for parking etc...may not be worth it if they keep fucking up the game day experience. We'll see. I want to go next year. We'll see how it is by then.

I'm only offended at people's taking offense at being gently encouraged to no longer do the chop. That's about as benign as it gets, but those complaining about others' complaining about everything need to look in the mirror.

Personally, I couldn't care any less about any of it.

Yeah we can tell. Twistedpantiesinabunch.

It's about damn time "to the winner goes the spoils" was applied. You talk all the black guys into repping the white man's jersey and we'll just forget all about the red guys.

[ChiefsFanatic]

I am Native American, and I understand the chop is just a sports related thing. No one is doing it to mock or disrespect Native Americans.

Now, I will admit that I really don't like a bunch of white people wearing costume headdresses, that look like they were made by other white people.

I never say anything about it, but I don't like it. And even in that situation, I don't think the intent is to mock or disrespect Native Americans.

[Valiant]

I would say we can also push back. Chiefs are not a native American term. We can switch to the pagan chiefs of Europe. Word is French and Italian origin.

[joethomas]

It's just white people who love being offended taking offense on behalf of other people who largely are not offended. They like telling everyone what they should be offended by, because they like injecting themselves into the situation so they can feel morally superior to everyone else. It's not about native peoples, whose opinions are irrelevant to these whites. if you tell them that the native people are not offended the white people will say it's because they have internalized racism and that we shouldn't listen to them. it's 100% about the white people mounting the crusade wanting to feel like they are better than everyone else and loving a chance to tell everyone so.

I mean the chop is fun, way to get the crowd going, but let's get real.

So was "We're going to beat the hell out of you" after the td's.

Maybe our next celebration will be to sit in contemplative meditation for 30 seconds.

[srvy]

Personally, I think the chop is stupid and don't do it. But my reason is it's a dumb ass college frat boy bullshit stolen from the FSU Seminals.

Also the Native Americans have no special rights or claims to someone throwing their hand out in the air. A motion is not a tomahawk, Hatchet or Ax.

[kevrunner]

Isn’t the signal for a 1st down a tomahawk chop? That needs to go first.

I know right. My great grandma came here from the Scandinavian area in the early 1940's. As a third generation Scandinavian, I demand the Viking name to be changed immediately. How dare they dishonor my ancestry by wearing horns and other Viking imagery. They also use a giant Gjallarhorn during game days and have fire come out of it. The audacity of these people disrespecting me! I'm so mad!

The Patriots use as their connotation Revolutionary statesmen those fuckers owned, raped, and killed slaves

[redfan]

Did real Native Americans ever have a chant/battle cry that sounded like "the chop"? If so, I could see the point of cultural appropriation. I'm not enough of a historian to know. To me, it sounds like something somebody imagined what a war cry would sound like, with no historical connotation. I've never been a fan of the chop, only because it was an FSU thing and I felt the Chiefs should have something original. If a bunch of folks want to chant something some other folks made up, more power to them. I used to do it when I was a youngster, but I haven't in many, many years. Maybe I outgrew it, idk.
I'm not of Native American descent. None of my NA friends (3) have a problem with it (we've discussed it), but clearly some do. Change it to appease the minority? Are they even the minority? Is the word chief bad now? Big brain sports questions!
