As St. Louis and Atlanta played in the National League Division Series last week, Cardinals rookie pitcher Ryan Helsley talked about his family (his mother is full-blooded Cherokee) and the racist "tomahawk chop" performed by fans at Atlanta's baseball stadium with foam tomahawks that the team hands out before the game.
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 more than that. It's not me being offended by the whole mascot thing.
