A Bay Area news station likely wants a do-over after using a facepalm-worthy racially insensitive headline in its coverage of the Atlanta Braves being bounced out of the MLB postseason.
KTVU, the Bay Area’s Fox affiliate, recapped the St. Louis Cardinals’ win over the Braves in Game 5 of the National League Division Series with a chyron that read, “Braves Scalped.”
That’s straight out of the yikes factory. Particularly given the conversation that’s surrounded the Braves recently. A Cardinals pitcher of Native American descent objected to the Braves’ infamous Tomahawk Chop and the team responded Wednesday by toning down its use of the chop...

Mike Oz is a JOKE.
And so is the Injun pitcher.
With Hillary now on the warpath, Lieawatha better watch her scalp as well.
More phony outrage from the left.
I strenuously object to the racist term “white supremacy“. Yet, the left and the media continued to use it! That is hateful and racist.
Same station that did the classic “Sum Ting Wong” news story. Haha.
Good thing they didn’t say “Braves Schlonged”
His boss will Jap him in the morning.
Yeah, it was really a “hair raising” term back in the old days.
Guess you can’t say “scalping tickets” anymore. Probably have to use the PC English professors BS description of “selling tickets at outrageous prices above their market value”.
No wonder our kids are failing in school. Too much leftist PC Bullshit and not enough “readin’, writin’ and ‘rithematic’.”
What’s racist about it? The Braves didn’t do any scalping. They got scalped. Now, if Atlanta had won and they said, “Cardinals Scalped by Braves”, that would have just blown the lid off the old Outrage-O-Meter.
Hahahaha - I even remember where I was when that story broke - truely a. Classic !
In San Francisco the only correct reply is "Can I be next?"
that’s hilarious..
f the French
Yahoo reporter trying to stir up racism when NONE is there.
Let us try.....braves beaten....nah...braves lost...nah...braves come up short....nah...ah...atlanta mlb team did not win against cardinals....oh no..showing favor to catholic leaders......
A Cardinals pitcher of Native American descent objected to the Braves’ infamous Tomahawk Chop and the team responded Wednesday by toning down its use of the chop...
...which they still use, and have used for decades? Wow, that's really "woke". Back when Jane Fonda was married to the Braves owner, she was up there participating in the chop.
In this case, the final score was 13-1. I think they could use any violent metaphor they’d like. Braves scalped. Braves beaten. Braves tomahawked. Braves battered. They all fit the narrative.
