The Atlanta Braves, Offensive?
I'm not one of those super PC people or anything, but I just turned on the game, and everyone was waving tomahawks and chanting to really generic music. Does this offend people??? I don't know if I was offended per se, but I'm not native american either. Your thoughts...

1. I hate that Tomahawk Chop bullshit...
It's offensive to me because the Atlanta fans look like idiots.

2. fact: the Native Americans manufacture those stupid tomahawks
the chief (I think he's Choctaw out of Carolina) was on Oprah.

He said he was "laughing all the way to the bank".
