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.

Just rename it the lumberjack chop. The lumberjacks won't be pissed because they're not pussies.

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. Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk |

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.

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.

Chop has always been dumb before anybody complained. Team will eventually stop with the stupid music from old westerns.

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. |

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. |

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