"The Cleveland Indians announced on Monday they are dropping the Chief Wahoo logo from their uniforms next year, bowing to decades of complaints that the grinning, red-faced caricature used since 1947 is racist. The move came after protracted discussions between team owner Paul Dolan and MLB commissioner Rob Manfred. The cartoonish, big-toothed logo will come off the team’s jersey sleeves and caps starting with the 2019 season. “Major League Baseball is committed to building a culture of diversity and inclusion throughout the game,” Manfred said in a statement. He said the logo “is no longer appropriate for on-field use.” - The Guardian The decision is unlikely to quell complaints from Native American organizations and others who see the symbol as offensive. The Indians will continue to wear the Wahoo logo in 2018, and even after it is taken off the uniform, the club will still sell merchandise featuring the mascot in the Cleveland area.
