Let’s just get this out of the way – The Cleveland Indians’ Chief Wahoo logo is incredibly racist. That any professional sports team in the 21st century would prominently feature a racist logo or name (ahem, REDSKINS) is beyond comprehension and the cognitive dissonance necessary to believe otherwise is the real magic in this world.
On Monday, the Indians announced that starting in 2019, they would be doing away with the Chief Wahoo logo. The team will no longer wear jerseys displaying the Wahoo image and will instead opt for the block-like “C” they have been sporting for the past few years. For the past few seasons, the team has tried phasing out the offensive imagery and yesterday’s news indicates that they are fully committed to doing so.
