Tomahawk Chop

The tomahawk chop is a sports gesture used by fans of several teams, including the Florida State Seminoles, Atlanta Braves, Kansas City Chiefs, and Exeter Chiefs. It involves moving the forearm forwards and backwards repeatedly with an open palm, often accompanied by a cheer. The gesture has been the source of controversy for decades, with many Native American groups viewing it as a racist caricature of Native American culture. It was claimed to have been invented by the Florida State University Marching Chiefs in the 1980s, and was later adopted by the Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Braves. The teams have been criticized by Native American advocacy groups for their use of the chop, with some calling for the teams to change their names and end the chop.learn more on wikipedia
