I'm hearing the tomahawk chop

[Tribetime]

I guess I have to root for buffalo. Why do people do this they do it at Florida State they do it for the Atlanta Braves and they're doing it for the Kansas City Chiefs

[a kennedy]

1. I know, and I HATE IT. 🤬 🤬 🤬

[Demovictory9]

23. me too

[MANative]

2. They do it in Buffalo too. Can't understand why.

Just awful.

[Tribetime]

4. Wow I never heard that in Buffalo but Buffalo's been through

Heart aches in the Super Bowl and Cleveland's been the same way so I guess I'm rooting for buffalo who won the Super Bowl

[tenderfoot]

8. Uh.... no they don't

Where did you hear that?

[MANative]

20. When they played the Pats in Dec and again in the wild card game

Couldn't understand why. Had an extended conversation with my husband about it while we watched.

[tenderfoot]

25. Video please

I have never seen that at a Bills game ever.

Well, they lost, that'll so 'em.

[MANative]

27. Really?? Have no idea how I'd isolate that and post it

Don't believe me; entirely up to you.

[tenderfoot]

28. I don't

[MuseRider]

3. I hate it too

but as my son just said, consider that the stadium is mostly filled with people from Independence Mo (his words not mine) and other areas like that and the Chiefs can change their name and ask fans not to do it but you will never stop those people from doing it if they want to and they want to.

[Tribetime]

6. Well I'm in Cleveland and the Indians change their names

And I never really heard the Indians do the tomahawk chop

[DURHAM D]

5. Hold on.

One of the Bills defensive players made a tackle and then taunted the player he tackled with the chop while he was on the ground.

A player using it is way worse than some idiot in the crowd.

[Diamond_Dog]

7. Funny

I don’t remember Cleveland Indians fans ever doing the chop.

[CanonRay]

9. My sole reason to root against Kansas City

I despise that chop

[Tribetime]

10. What a game 13 seconds left

Buffalo deserves a championship

[CanonRay]

11. All four games this weekend were awesome

Possibly the best weekend of football ever.

[Tribetime]

12. This is the only game I watched I've been disappointed in football this year

[USALiberal]

24. Glad to hear it!

[mentalsolstice]

13. They can still be KC Chiefs if....

They rebrand their logo and discourage fans from doing the tomahawk thing. Chiefs is a common word in our lexicon, it doesn’t just pertain to First Nations. We have CPOs in the Navy, CEOs and CFOs, in PDs and FDs, and last but not least CiC.

So I would keep the name, but throw money at rebranding and outreach. The same with the Braves. We celebrate bravery everyday. OTOH, Washington had no choice, the name was offensive. And I don’t know what to say about the FSU situation. I’m a FL native, so we often took field trips to Seminole reservations when I was in elementary school. From what I understand the Seminole tribe were enthusiastic for the team to be named after them....but I have NEVER been a FSU fan.

Just my two cents.

[Tribetime]

14. I'm not qualified to have an opinion on it

[mentalsolstice]

22. Yes, you definitely deserve to have an opinion on the issue.

I’m just saying there’s a way for teams to own up to their past mistakes and move forward. By not giving up their names, but redirecting branding in a positive way, they may educate more than if they just changed their name with little/no explanation.

21. Proud alum of FSU here. The Seminole Tribe of Florida collaborates with FSU.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida helps make the outfit for Chief Osceola and crowns the homecoming chief and princess in the homecoming game. The university and the tribe have been in continual dialogue over imagery associated with the name.

[stopdiggin]

29. and the tomahawk chop? -(nt)-

but I acknowledge all that you bring forward in your post is true, and should be better understood and considered.

[OrlandoDem2]

32. Seminole fans belt out the Seminole Warchant loud and proud. If the Tribe

ever has a problem with it then the university will revisit the issue. The university has always maintained that position, even to the extent that it would change its nickname if the tribe ever says it should.

[mentalsolstice]

30. Yeah I'm aware that the Seminoles have an agreement with FSU

However, as a kid growing up in south FL in the 60/70s, I often felt uncomfortable visiting their reservations. It felt like a circus show, I wished they could be independent without the audience.

And sorry I couldn’t stand Bobby Bowden.

[Tribetime]

15. I hope I did not jinx Buffalo I am from Cleveland you know

[Deuxcents]

18. I'm a Browns fan

No cheesy cheerleaders..just the dawg pound . No chop, chop insensitive cheers. I’m also, again this year, disappointed. I wish they got Burrows from LSU but it’s a team I’ve been with since the Cardiac kids days w/ Bernie. I’m old..I know.

[egduj]

16. It's really loud now.

[jcgoldie]

Mahomes is insane.

[Hangingon]
