CHOP CLAP BACK!!!
Sports Reporter Refuses to Root for Chiefs Due to Native Name, Tomahawk Chop
Things were apparently going entirely too well and entirely too non-political, for some of members of the sports media on Sunday. Mike Wise of WUSA9 in Washington, DC, took it upon himself to shatter the woke silence with an incandescently awful take on the Kansas City Chiefs and the origin of their name.

Chiefs fans speaking out on 'Tomahawk Chop' after recent national attention
KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) - The "Tomahawk Chop" has been a part of Chiefs games for decades. But the days leading up to the Super Bowl are pushing the chop onto a national stage and people are talking about it. From the Washington Post to the New York Times, the headlines are creating conversation.
Native Americans Speak Out
'They just don't get it:' Kansas City Chiefs football team called out as racist ahead of 'Appropriationbowl' - APTN News
Jamie Pashagumskum APTN News Fans of the Kansas City Chiefs call it the "arrowhead chop" but Indigenous people are calling it cultural appropriation and they're angry that'll be on television for hundreds of millions to see. The chop is a hand gesture fans do to celebrate their team that mimics the swinging of a tomahawk.
Right-Wing Plays Defense
No, cheering for the Chiefs isn't racist
On Sunday night, the Kansas City Chiefs crushed the Tennessee Titans, securing a spot in the Super Bowl for the first time since 1970. The win thrilled Chiefs fans in Kansas City and beyond, but not everyone was so excited for the team from the plains.
Prez Trump Plans Surprise
Trump releases a Super Bowl ad - and he's saving another one for the big game
President Donald Trump has released one of his two 30-second Super Bowl ads, hours after presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg released his own Super Bowl ad about gun control. The spot is called "Stronger, Safer, More Prosperous." Trump's campaign said the other 30-second ad will not be released prior to the game.

Bloomberg's $10 million Super Bowl ad confronts the sobering cost of gun violence
His 60-second spot will be dueling on the airwaves Sunday with Trump's own ad. Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg's highly anticipated, very expensive Super Bowl ad had its opening kickoff Thursday morning, a 60-second spot that confronts the issue of gun violence head on, and what marks a very serious contrast to the current administration - and, likely, to a lot of the other ads voters will see come Sunday: nothing frivolous here.
TKC FACT CHECK: IT'S ALL JUST A BIG COMMERCIAL!!!
A Politicized Super Bowl Means Opportunities for Brands
The Super Bowl is more than snack stadiums and rating points. On the first Sunday in February, America's largest television audience does something truly remarkable: Viewers look forward to watching ads. And yet, this year's ad slate threatens to spoil the party.
And so we throw it back to our blog community . .
TKC CAPTION CONTEST: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT POLITICOS ENGAGING IN SUPER BOWL HYPE?!?
You decide . . .
Did they decide to date or something? Not sure their "friendship" really helps either one as much as they think.
ReplyDelete^^^^ wrong. they are young, successful and very smart & educated. OF COURSE TKC readers wouldn't understand.
Delete^^^^^^^^ Oh, so you're saying that they're both one termers? Okay!
DeleteBwahahahahahhahahhahaa!
Oh, Chimpster/11:52, you just want to play hide the banana with both of them. But, you're male, so we all know only one of them would be interested IF YOU WEREN'T A SMELLY LITTLE MONKEY!!
DeleteBetter headline for you T, an opportunity for your readers to go see that Clint Eastwood movie before it leaves theaters.
ReplyDelete^^^ Or read a book.
DeletePolitics only ruins the game if you let it. Many more people are excited about the Super Bowl and just want to watch their team win it for the first time in 50 years.
ReplyDeleteIt's rigged, just like the elections.
ReplyDeleteSo Is Lucas saying he's with his gay friend? Is Davids saying she is with her gay friend? I say they are both gay. So Davids must not be to butt hurt over the Chiefs Chop issue. Just two phonies who had had special privileges all their life based on being ethnic and gay. I'll say this much, they both have fucking the taxpayers down pat.
ReplyDeleteCity of Gullible Idiots
ReplyDelete^^OK Boomer. Die please.
ReplyDeleteGood job Chimpy! Lol
DeleteSharice was brushing her long hair gently down...
ReplyDeleteMayor Lucas and Sharice Davids at work, or so they think, just not working for you.
ReplyDelete^^and yet they are. Weird.
ReplyDeleteOh Chimpy. You need to be funnier! Work on that, you dumb monkey!
DeleteWonder how much Lucas's playing around in Washington is costing the city? Almost appears at times he out of town more than he is in town.
ReplyDeleteWonder why you would care when you DON'T LIVE IN KANSAS CITY.
DeleteIs being that old that boring? Is The Price Is Right over?
Stupid dave..why do you care? He's the mayor of KC. You don't live in KC! Mind your own business!!!! Jesus Christ, do you worry about what's going on in Frogville? Idiot.
ReplyDelete^^Ha!!! Imagine someone wasting so much time commenting on a town he doesn't even live in? Oh Stupor Dave...never change!
ReplyDeleteOk now do Byron.
DeleteOh Chimpy So Simpy/1:05 & 1:13, you're always sticking your booger picked nostrils and big stinky butt where they don't belong. Stay in your cage and stop flinging poo covered banana peels at zoo patrons.
DeleteDemocratic Party Tribalism on display.
ReplyDelete2 people who would be nothing without affirmative action and identity politics
DeleteREELECTED CHAMPS! YOU CHUMP!
ReplyDeleteFUKABUNCHA firewater chugging fraudsters!!!
ReplyDeleteThey've got NO PROBLEM with COLONIZERS and even GERONIMO'S PROGENY packing their CASINOS and TOMAHAWK CHOPPING fat loads of CASH into their COFFERS!!!
Shut up 1:13, we know that's you Byron.
ReplyDeleteTeam mascots based on American Indians helps keep their memory alive. Other wise the savage race the produced so little of lasting value would be totally forgotten.
ReplyDelete^^OK Boomer.
ReplyDeleteOh, Limpy soy boy, your Chimpy is waiting for you to buy more bananas with your SNAP card. He wants to play hide the bananas all day with you.
Delete1:38, I did not make the comment at 1:13.
ReplyDeleteYou clearly don't know shit.
1:41, they have a different opinion.
The white race is the most savage race.
They invaded every continent & abused the natives that they found there.
^^Ha!!! Good one!
ReplyDelete^^OK Boomer.
ReplyDeleteHow are we "culturally appropriating" something no Native has or would ever do?
ReplyDeleteJesus fuck. Haven't they ever heard of the Vikings or Celtics?
ReplyDelete"They invaded every continent & abused the natives that they found there."
ReplyDeleteAnd introduced everything you see around you that is man made. So a few eggs got broken to make the omelet. You want to go back to digging holes with sticks to shit in ?
Except the biggest Chiefs fan I know is Native American, so yep, don't know what to tell ya.
ReplyDeleteSmiley and Chief, The Toy Train Extension Duo.
ReplyDeleteBy the way St. Louis’ streetcar line made its last run in December, 2019 when the organization operating it ran out of funds. Fittingly, it broke down on its very last run and its passengers had to walk the last few blocks of the route.
The trolley opened in November, 2018 after a decade of planning and construction. Proponents predicted it would carry 400,000 riders in its first year. In fact, it carried only about 20,000 and fare revenues didn’t come close to covering operating costs.
Typical of the mindless crap and diversion the media dishes out these days.
ReplyDelete"2 gay Democrats pretending they give a crap about the Chiefs"
ReplyDeleteOne of the likes dick and it isn’t Sharice.
ReplyDeleteIt’s not a tomahawk chop. It is the motion of turning a whiskey bottle upside down to your lips. Oh crap, now I understand the cultural appropriation Lickahoe would object to.
ReplyDeleteSuper Dave asked the only question I'd like to see an answer to.
ReplyDeleteHow much is this running around the country costing us?
What was the purpose of this trip?
TOP PHOTO -- MINORITY REPORT
ReplyDeleteQ: What are the odds that 2 unrelated minority homosexuals with ties to KCKS/KCMO would both attend Cornell Law School in New York state at the same time (Lucas JD '09/Davids JD '10) and then return to KC becoming high-profile politicians?
A: It's just a coincidence!!!
Haha! Local media would tell me the true story if it wasn't just a random fluke...right?
When Quinton was at Cornell Law, he told everyone his home state was Kansas.
ReplyDelete"..looking up to political figures in his native Midwest, including the first female governor of Kansas, Joan Finney, and former Kansas Senator Nancy Kassebaum Baker. Admiration of his state's leading female political figures was not surprising for Lucas, who grew up with his single mother and two older sisters."
And though his Wikipedia page was last updated on January 12 of this year, he's continuing to falsely claim that he was a "law school professor" at the University of Kansas.
I know that Quinton is a liar, but I hate to see all the local media constantly give him a pass. If they won't hold him accountable for the little stuff, he'll keep getting worse, and the taxpayers keep getting shafted more and more.
Clay Chastain is really looking good right about now for those of you who laughed at him.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^ wrong again Clay. Please stay in Virginia!
DeleteWe'll take Quinton over you any time. You got less than 1% of the vote. Please take a clue.
Since my white tribe is bigger. Everyone else can fuck off. Right Byron?
ReplyDeleteNah, your trailer park is small and pathetic.
DeleteThat Escalade you live in is much smaller. BTW your finance company is looking for you so don't park it at the chicken joint anymore.
ReplyDeleteWinners winning.
ReplyDeleteWell now, that's a pretty picture I must say!
ReplyDeleteWhat a whore.
ReplyDeleteYou know had the Chiefs been in last place this year they'd both be bitching about how Native Americans are oppressed by the team logo and demanding they change the team name to the Care bears or some shit.
