With Manfred’s support, Braves bring chop to World Series

Associated Press  

ATLANTA — As the World Series shifts to Atlanta, some TV viewers may be offended to see Braves fans still chopping and chanting in force. “The Native American community in that region is wholly supportive of the Braves program, including the chop,” Manfred said Tuesday. Sneed said the Braves have “really been instrumental and really a trailblazer in setting an example for using their platform because it is a national platform and in some cases international.” Manfred also praised the Braves, saying “they’ve done a great job with the Native Americans” in the region. “The Native American community is the most important group to decide whether it’s appropriate or not and they have been unwaveringly supportive of the Braves,” Manfred said. “I am 100% certain that the Braves understand what the Native American community in their region believes and that they’ve acted in accordance with that understanding.” ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
