Sanders, now Jackson State’s football coach, declined an interview request from the AP. Former Braves outfielder Deion Sanders is credited with bringing the chop, which was part of his college football background at Florida State, to Atlanta.

Sneed said the problems with crime and poverty remain largely ignored when the national attention has been on team names and the tomahawk chop. I don’t know very many, maybe one or two, from my tribe who say, ‘Yeah, I don’t like that.’ But at the end of the day, we’ve got bigger issues to deal with.” If somebody is, that’s their prerogative, it’s their right. “I’m not offended by somebody waving their arm at a sports game,” Sneed told the AP on Tuesday.
Richard Sneed, principal chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, would like to see more outrage about what he says are far bigger issues facing Native Americans, including poverty, unemployment, child abuse, sexual assaults and suicide.
“You have to look far and wide and how all Indian nations feel.” “I think on a subject like that and when you’re dealing with Indian country you have to look at it as a whole instead of one or two specific places,” Jason Salsman, press secretary for the Muscogee Nation, told The Associated Press on Thursday.
