Quit rationalizing your blame on these kids from Covington and just step up and apologize! Why is it that those who spend the most time on their ass in front of a keyboard and screen are those with the least amount of common sense?

One wonders if these folks ever saw the Atlanta Braves play. Surely they've seen a Florida St. Seminoles game. Where was the outrage then?
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

There's been an on-going complaint about both your examples going on for decades?

Is your personal bias a learning curve to overcome or do you believe the boys from Covington should be educated with or the fact they can just be boys and enjoy the fanfare we all grew up with in decades of accepted behavior at sporting events
Seriously EA, get out from your screen and experience the real world!!! You are lacking.
(EA will block this logical reply)!

Pretty much
Usage of the tomahawk chop has led to complaints that it made fun of Native American culture. It also was criticized for being a reference to the former practice of scalping. Shortly after the Atlanta Braves adopted it, there were a number of calls from Native Americans for Braves fans to stop doing the tomahawk chop. Prior to the 1991 World Series a number of Native Americans protested against the Braves using the tomahawk chop outside the Metrodome. During the protests Clyde Bellecourt, national director of the American Indian Movement, suggested that the team could be called "the Atlanta Negroes, Atlanta Klansmen or Atlanta Nazis". In 2009, the Gill-Montague Regional School Committee, a local school board in Massachusetts, banned the use of the gesture at school sporting events, calling it offensive and discriminatory. In 2016, Native American groups asked the Kansas City Chiefs to stop doing the tomahawk chop. In the same year a similar request was made of Exeter Chiefs.
Yeah, the "Tomahawk Chop" bugs me. Here's why.
It's 2013. Can't we just get rid of this thing?
Obviously this is something the LEFT recently made up just to pick on a few MAGA kids.

Yeah Kevin that's the wiki I was reading a day or so ago. If you look upwards on that wiki you'll see how the Braves (or some team, don't ask me which it was) intended it's use.
Do the sports fans for these teams still use the tomahawk chop and sell those foam tomahawks?

I know the Atlanta Braves, Florida State Seminoles, and Kansas City Chiefs still do it. I don't know if they still license and sell the foam choppy chops.

Hello! So I went window shopping.
You can pick up a bundle of Atlanta Braves tomahawks for $24.99 and change.

Plus the tomahawk dealy is what crosses the letter A on their insignia. I hope it's called insignia. Team spirit stuff? Memorabilia?
Whatevs. You can still buy it.

Pay me no mind. This is what sub zero temps do to a person. It'll be far worse by tomorrow.

I think you should apologize for linking to a completely irrelevant video.
