The Chop is Changing... Barely
 

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

Your privilege to be a fan.

Lulz

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.

Cheerleaders prefer the fist.

/Thread

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

DROWN THE NATIVES IN OUR WHITE MAN'S TONGUE

ok

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

The world has gone full on stupid.

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

Chief Wahoo and Ric Flair do not approve

And literally zero fans will close their hands so whatev

And apparently TwistedChief:

No doubt!

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

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.

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 ****ing get it. The mob is never satisfied. They will come for everything.

Exactly. Not sure why that's difficult to understand

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

DUMB

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

Just watch it will change to the jack off

Not sure why anybody is surprised. They said they were going to "evaluate" the chop. What did you think that meant?

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

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!

Dance monkey dance.

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

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

A privilege? Interesting choice of words.

So the chant is ok?

He will understand when they yank his pants down to his ankles.




Again...........

Dude, I don’t care about the ****ing 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 ****ing read? Or would you rather play ignorant like you did about BLM being Marxist because facing the truth is too difficult?

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!!

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.

Plus, they stopped that 1 guy from wearing a headress because some pussy was offended.

That's next...

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?"

Lol I love how you pretend like there’s this secret meaning behind it yet fail to provide it.

OMG SHUT UP!!!!111

Look like? Might as well whip it out and go to town

I'm hornay

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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...

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 seriously laughed out loud.....I needed that - thanks! :clap:

LMAOLMAOLMAO

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

:clap::clap::clap::clap:

I'm doing a tomahawk chopped salad to go along with the steak I'm grilling for my pre-game meal.

Standing ovation post. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Take a bow.

It's so, so easy to keep sports and politics apart when the teams are melding sports and politics. So easy to just keep politics out of the Lounge. :hmmm:

Liberals ruin everything.

I'll bet most of the cheerleaders have an open fist like they're gripping an.....eggplant emoji.

Then they'll be pumping it like a shakeweight.


That's how I'm going to tolerate this stupid capitulation modification.

Is it really so hard not to say things like 'own the libs' or 'liberals ruin everything' or 'thanks Trump'?

There's more subtle things said, even in this thread.

So you would have zero problems if I went to a washington generals game in an army costume with a purple heart and campaign medals?

Do whatever the **** you want to do.

Just don't tell me what to do.

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

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.

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.

If we don't evolve, we die out. Mahomes has evolved the game of football. Yes the mile high salute is really really gay

After we get masks and change the name of the chiefs we can focus on getting contact out of the game to prevent head injuries then we focus on making this a Soccer country

Give me a ****ing break. It's a sporting event.

See, you're only half joking.

The people trying to "make change" in the NFL don't even give a **** about football.

They want the game destroyed.

The people trying to "make change" in the NFL don't even give a **** about football.

Not only that, they never go in person to games. I find the people who stand on their soap box declaring what is right and wrong never spend a dime at Arrowhead.
