It seems that Rob Manfred suddenly does not want to piss off Georgians. Asked about the Tomahawk Chop:

“It’s important to understand we have 30 markets around the country,” Manfred said before Game 1 between the Braves and Astros on Tuesday evening. “They’re not all the same. The Braves have done a phenomenal job with the Native American community.”
