tomahawk

Love had the exclamation point to the final home game revelry with a tomahawk dunk that put the Wildcats up 94-67.

Since 2005, a Kansas City group called Not In Our Honor has protested the team name and its assortment of offensive accoutrements, including the tomahawk chop gesture and chant, face paint and fake headdresses.

The team’s name and arrowhead logo remain, as does the “tomahawk chop,” in which fans chant and swing a forearm up and down in a ritual that is not unique to the Chiefs.

The youngest of the popular 1950s singing group The Ames Brothers, he became a successful TV and musical theater actor and performed a memorable tomahawk throw on “The Tonight Show.”

“They are all Noles, and they are big-time fans, and they do the tomahawk chop and they were not happy on Sunday when Florida State was left out,” Mr. DeSantis said.
