Lily Gladstone Calls Out KC Chiefs for ‘That Damn Tomahawk Chop’

In an interview on Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast, the Killers of the Flower Moon actress said that both of this year’s Super Bowl teams—the Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers—should be held “accountable.” But it was the Missouri-based team that she specifically called out for “that damn Tomahawk chop.”

“Honestly, you could hold both teams accountable,” Gladstone said. “The 49ers are based on the California Gold Rush, which was an incredibly brutal time for California Indians. And then the Chiefs.
