The Tomahawk-Chopping Cow: Would Jesus Do the Tomahawk Chop?

Posted by Alejandro A. Leal on Saturday June 21st 2008, 2:03 pm - filed in News reel

The Atlanta Braves have revealed a new marketing partnership with the aptly-named, chicken filet restaurant Chick-Fil-A, where they installed a huge, mechanical tomahawking cow on top of the roof of the right field pavilion at Turner Field. The cow is part of a promotional scheme we Atlantans are very familiar with. Chick-Fil-A has billboards all over town featuring cows that encourage you to “eat more chikin.”

Coincidentally, I was at the game on Friday, and the consensus was: “Whoa, where’d that cow come from? It’s doing the Chop!”

Behold, the mechanical tomahawking cow in all its politically incorrect glory:

A funny fact about Chick-Fil-A, they close on Sundays, which is a policy that has carried over since the founder wanted to make sure his employees had time to worship.

Which makes me wonder, Would Jesus do the Tomahawk Chop?

Dirty, dirty Braves fans

Posted by Coley Ward on Tuesday October 09th 2007, 3:28 pm - filed in News reel

From the American Society for Microbiology and The Soap and Detergent Association, via Braves Blog, comes this tidbit about the dirty male fans at Turner Field:

Men really strike out when it comes to handwashing at sporting events, the study found. Only 57 per cent of the guys were observed washing their hands at Turner Field in Atlanta (the lowest figure at any of the locales). On the other hand, women hit a home run: 95 per cent were observed cleaning their hands at the same location.

Now the next time I’m watching TV and the fans in Atlanta start doing the tomahawk chop, I’ll know it’s not just racist, it’s unsanitary, too.
