ā€˜Forbesā€™ Sports Writer Triggered by Braves Fans ā€˜Chopping and Chantingā€™

Moore celebrated the fact that every team in sports ā€œnot named the Washington Redskinsā€ has already dumped their ā€œoffending Native Americanā€ names, except for the Atlanta Braves. To Moore, the Braves are still embarrassing themselves with ā€œa ballpark full of mostly white fansā€ performing the tomahawk chop chant. And he wants ā€œsomeoneā€ to ā€œstop Atlanta Braves fans from chopping and chanting.ā€

Growing up in Atlanta as a boy, we were proud to be young Braves. We loved our team and our tomahawk chop. This political correctness BS has gone too far. This guy Moore is a loon. I'm 60 now and to my wife's eternal embarrassment, I still yell my war chant for my Braves.

Turn this up loud.
Get out of your chairs and join me in a war dance.

Mr. Moore, this chant is for you:
