Chief Wahoo Gets Cut from Memorial Day Cleveland Indians Cap
By Eugene McCormick. Published on 05/21/2009 - 3:39pm
Major League Baseball pulled the plug on a Cleveland Indians cap that caused some controversy last year. MLB started producing a line of "Stars and Stripes" baseball caps but many thought that Chief Wahoo adorning Old Glories red, white, and blue was out of bounds.
This season the commemorative cap, which some proceeds go to help retiring veterans, will be the mid-80's Tribe cap with just a letter C. You can purchase the special edition Indians merchandise through MLB's official store.

The Commie PC Cleveland Indians Cap.
That is an ugly motherfucking hat.
Obviously a younster makes a comment like this because he has to swear.. Grow up people....
Hey Cleveland, change your logo if you are ashamed of it!
If NOT, LEAVE CHIEF WAHOO ALONE, he is an American Patriot!
so, let's see... not having a caricature of a Native American on a baseball cap is communist how? Run that by me again? Actually, I don't really have an issue with the Chief but I was wondering how many posts it would take for the PC term to be used. One... I wasn't disappointed.
ps... boy the Indians are a woeful team, aren't they?

They aren't woeful when we dig a 10-0 deficit.
This is a great milestone...
Just like the blacks have had issues in the past with racism, the original peoples of america still go through this today. Back in the day whites used to paint their faces black in movies to portay a black person. Today you still see actors on the tv that paint bodies with a tan reddish color to appear like a native person, instead of hiring a native actor/actress that is well qualified for the part. Or like in twillight they hired a diffrent race to take the parts of a few characters when there was a good population that showed up for casting. This is a secret struggle that indeed needs more publicity. What would Martin Luther King Jr. do if he seen his people being suppressed. I think this question answers itself.
Not everyone has courage enough to do the right thing.
In native solidarity....
I do have the courage to stand up an say something, and i have done something, and i will continue to do until the spirits of my ancestors rest, and when my people are equal
Anyone know where I can get my hands on a Stars & Stripes Chief Wahoo hat!?!?!
