The irony you attempt to cultivate does not exist.

To the extent anyone can even colorably be characterized as 'outraged' [which is miniscule] by this reeruned attempt at journalisming, they aren't demanding The Star respond to their outrage with apology and change in behavior. They just ridicule it and disregard their enterprise.

Not everybody does it. I go to 3 or 4 games a year and see alot of people who don't participate. Offensive or not, there are clearly alot of fans who think it is stupid and won't do it. It looks dumb, sounds dumb, isn't original, isn't a tradition from very long. You all look like idiots.

the star hates everything these days.

They seem to want to sell papers by attacking KC institutions.

Next up, the Plaza gentrified the area just west of The Paseo, and must be torn down.

KC's BBQ tradition is cultural appropriation, and white people enjoying it is offensive.

How on earth will we survive your scorn? . . .

PTSD

Not scorn, pity.

Access denied, above your pay grade.

In this digital media age, much of "journalism" amounts to contrarian takes, with the simple agenda of drumming up discussion or "click bait".

Yahoo/nbc sports is just about 95% this.

Just about every sports talk show on espn during the day is this approach.....either at one end of the argument spectrum, or the other.

Journalism is dead....everything is Op-Ed.

I think the chop is pretty dumb and insensitive but getting worked up about it one way or the other seems like a waste of time and energy

Maybe we should just do the wave? Does that offend anyone? Is it insensitive to aquatic creatures, since a 'wave' is part of their natural environment, and not something to trivialize at a sporting contest?

I mean, I don't want to look like an idiot or anything (according to underEJ) so I guess I will simply don an ascot, knee length black leather boots, breeches, a hounds tooth jacket and my monocle like those cultured folk in Los Angeles and simply say "Pip-pip! Cheerio lads! Well done!" whilst observing grown men play a child's game.



ETA: God dammit I am so sorry for being white.

I don't do the chop personally. But I don't care if others want to. I don't think it has any intent to mock or disparage Native Americans.

I'm a Native American and I don't think it does, either.

**** the KC Star.

You white males have no authority to police the offense taken by others.

They can't stop a behavior in their own stadium? Of course they can. Don't be silly.
