We’re not going to say that Atlanta is continuing the chop just to cater to racists. But the racists sure seem to like it.
Also, check that, we are going to say that Atlanta is continuing the chop just to cater to racists. Just like how they’re keeping their team name to cater to racists, and how they build their stadium in the suburbs to cater to racists, and how they proudly welcomed Donald Trump to their stadium for a World Series game.
