Georgia Republicans Blame Baseball Loss On 'Tomahawk Chop' Ban
The Atlanta Braves lost 13-1 to the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday. I'm sure it had everything to do with not waving around foam tomahawks and not chanting their chopping chant and generally engaging in ugly cultural misappropriation as they have done for decades.

Georgia conservatives knocked the Atlanta Braves for pivoting from the “tomahawk chop” chant ahead of Wednesday’s humiliating Game 5 playoff defeat against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The team didn’t distribute the trademark foam tomahawks to fans at the decisive National League Division series game and took measures to reduce the chopping chant used to fire up the crowd after Cardinals pitcher Ryan Helsley raised concerns.
