Following in the footsteps of the Washington Football Team (very generic if you ask me), Cleveland has also opted to change the team name after internal discussions with the organization and talking with local Native American groups.
Fir decades, the team used the Chief Wahoo caricature on jerseys and hats before moving away from it in recent years. But the organization said there was no timetable for when the name would be changed.
Now, I can definitely see how Indians may not like the Chief Wahoo caricature (especially when compared to the U of I or Chicago Blackhawks logos). But, I am not sure why there would be dislike for the name Indians. How is that disrespectful?
And, in all these cases with name and logo changes, how come these people suddenly got "Woke?" These have been in place for a long time.
