Screw these drunken injuns. With all the welfare and affirmative action they get from america, they have no business complaining about anything.

oct 9 2019 The Atlanta Braves did not pass out foam tomahawks to fans for Game 5 of the National League Division series against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday evening after one player called them “disrespectful.”

The Braves gave out the tomahawks during Game 1 and 2 of the series at SunTrust Park. Ahead of Game 2, Cardinals pitcher Ryan Helsley, 25, spoke out against the tomahawks, claiming they were “disrespectful” and possessed a “kind of caveman-type” imagery.

Helsley said in an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

I think it’s a misrepresentation of the Cherokee people or Native Americans in general. Just depicts them in this kind of caveman-type people way who aren’t intellectual. They are a lot of more than that. It’s not me being offended by the whole mascot thing. It’s not. It’s about the misconception of us, the Native Americans, and it devalues us and how we’re perceived in that way, or used as mascots. The Redskins and stuff like that.

The american indians are the evilest people on the planet. They tortured to death countless thousands of white people. And now they're all drunk and on welfare. Useless evil people.

And yet the america-hating press tells us injuns are wonderful and evil white people "stole" their land.!!!

Kind of a weird issue. Scalping is a historical fact, and so is the genocide whites did.

I think the logo is much more disrespectful than the gesture, after all, it's the natives Americans doing the scalping.

Last time I liked the Braves they had such awesome pitching. Smoltz Glavine Maddux. Forget the 4th, but that's the best rotation
in history. Like which dude with 20 wins do we face today?

Many Braves fans think their team is cursed. The A's losing record in the playoffs can be put up their with anyone (at least in the past 25 years)
