They are coming for the chop too
The Kansas City Chiefs’ racist “Arrowhead Chop” has flown under the radar. Not anymore. The Kansas City Chiefs’ chant isn’t a tribute to people like me. It’s racist.
Rest of original post

According to the notes, it’s originally from the KC Star. Google the chop. Lots of articles out there tha it’s racist. But, go ahead and keep your head in the sand.

Vox is a trash publication but the chop is stupid. It’s not really our cheer, anyway

I hate the chop, not because either it is or is not a race issue. I just hate it because it's just annoying as hell. It just got to go.

Am I the only Chiefs fan who doesn't give a shit about the chop?
There are a zillion other Arrowhead traditions old and new. If this will shut people up, then go ahead and get rid of it. Yeah yeah yeah, I know. "Don't give them an inch!" I just want to watch Patrick Mahomes win Super Bowls, people. Preferably by playing for the Kansas City football team known as the Chiefs and nothing else, and preferably in the classic red uniforms. |

Honestly, same with the name Chiefs. As long as we have Mahomes, we could be called the Kansas City Dicklickers for all I care. It's funny the things people get outraged over. |

If one person gets upset about it then we must get rid of it.
