Past Time for Chief Wahoo to Go

It’s time somebody had some sense. Major League Baseball may have struck the first blow to end the life of Chief Wahoo.

It’s overdue that the Cleveland Indians buried Chief Wahoo, a racist emblem that brings shame to the baseball team and the city of Cleveland.

Maybe Mayor Frank Jackson should speak out. Maybe City Council should act against this racist insignia.

C’mon, Dolans, do away with this blemish on Cleveland.

I guess Major League Baseball is saying just that. MLB nixed the Indians’ cap with a stars-and-strip emblem depicting Chief Wahoo with the American flag and its stars and stripes. The new hat design is meant to honor U. S. service people, making it even more repugnant.

Please end this obnoxious racist and ugly team emblem.

Here is what MLB thinks.

I was watching a 1981 All

I was watching a 1981 All Star Game replay on MLB Network. Len Barker was rockin' the C logo. Looked good. I say Indians should stick it with the C logo. It worked well back in '81. Graphics shouldn't belong on Major League baseball caps. Save that stuff for the minor leagues and the NFL. Other teams are using their alternate script logos more often, eg. Jay's and O's. For MLB teams in general , graphic cap logos should be relegated to alternate status like how the Braves and Red Sox are doing it, and script logos should be primary.
