We haven’t heard the whiny progressive liberals say much about the Atlanta Braves and their Tomahawk chop. Mainly it’s because the Braves have gone back to sucking. But after the Dodgers went to Atlanta this week, the L.A. Times is yet again calling the Tomahawk chop “racist”. The idiot progressive writer for the L.A. Times actually comepares the Tomahawk chop to that of Shaquille O’Neal mocking Yao Ming because he’s Chinese.

L.A. Times: Atlanta Tomahawk chop is racist again |

When the Dodgers visited the Atlanta Braves this week, the fans at Turner Field subjected them to countless performances of the Tomahawk Chop. The cartoonishly racist tradition remains alive in large part because of Dodgers President Stan Kasten, who defended the ritual when he was president of the Braves.
At the time, Kasten said the Tomahawk Chop wasn’t racist because the salute wasn’t a part of actual Native American culture. By that logic, Shaquille O’Neal’s infamous “ching-chong” joke directed at Yao Ming in 2002 would have been permissible because “ching-chong” isn’t real Chinese.
We can’t even get away from progressive political correctness bullshit when reading the sports section. No wonder California is such a joke.
