Rob Manfred Defers On Braves\' Use Of Chop Gesture 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Oct 27, 2021 12:23 pm

Rob Manfred is deferring to the Native American community in and around Atlanta on whether it\'s appropriate for the Braves to be encouraging the tomahawk chop gesture when the team hosts World Series games this weekend.

\"It\'s important to understand we have 30 markets around the country,\" Manfred said. \"They\'re not all the same. The Braves have done a phenomenal job with the Native American community.\"

Manfred said the Native American community in the Atlanta region \"is wholly supportive of the Braves program, including the chop. For me, that\'s the end of the story.\"
