An Astros fan hoisted a sign calling the Atlanta Braves “Tomahawk Chop” “racist” during Game 1 of the World Series as the Houston Astros faced the Braves on Tuesday.

The Braves have faced wide criticism for its name and use of native American imagery. It has taken particular fire for fans’ use of the Chop war cry chant during games at the Braves’ Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia.

This guy may have simply been trolling the Braves.

Did anyone actually believe this crap would stop with the Redskins? I’m a coward and the name Braves is offensive to me.

Isn’t “Astros” a racist taunt against Gray Aliens?

LOL....he probably did.

This is the crowd that goes wild when the words ‘o’er the land of the FREEEEE, and the home of the BRAVE’, is sung.

Excellent! Me, Too!

The only way one guy with a small sign can get national coverage is if the sign fits the enemedia’s narrative. If it said F&&& Joe Biden, the network would never have shown it and we’d have never heard about it.

Glad I missed it, but I missed it all on purpose.

I hope the Braves run through them like a steamroller.

I don’t watch baseball but I really want to support the Braves now. Especially after the whale Abrams pulled her stunt to destroy Atlanta businesses.

There’s a libtard in every crowd, I’m sure the vast majority of Astros fans don’t feel this way 😁.

I love "the chop" and and Seminoles war chant!

And I really enjoyed the Braves in the days of John Rocker, Greg Maddux, Smoltzy, and that whole awesome crew.

I like Smoltz as a player but he makes me cringe as an announcer. That man never quits talking, lol.

I can’t say I’m a big baseball fan, but I am now officially a Braves fan.

I hate all things PC.

More likely, like with antifa/BLM thugs, the media and DNC paid the guy to do this.

How about a four game sweep.
