Yup. Guess who loses their copywrite next.

[PAR35]

Someone needs to tell their lawyer about Rule 11.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Here we go. Let the shake-downs begin!!

[kiryandil]

Taht’s Raciss.

[detective]

The Chiefs, Braves and Blackhawks are next.

[a fool in paradise]

New corporate tie-in opportunity, Chief Yahooooooooo!

[molson209]

but these Indians are not Indians ,the idiots that landed thought they were in India

[demshateGod]

We’re under attack, and we’re not fighting. There are enough angry men in this country that we could put a stop to this tomorrow.

In order to win a defamation action, the plaintiff must establish that he was indeed defamed and that the objectionable symbol (in this case) was the proximate cause of the injury.

So tell me how Chief Wahoo defames anyone? Where is the injury? Being offended is not the same as having one’s standing or reputation diminished. If anything, Chief Wahoo elevates the reputation of Indians by equating them to noble fighters and staunch champions.

Cleveland should charge the Indians for the advertising.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

I wonder if the Washington families will file suit against Washington, DC?

[morphing libertarian]

no problemo, since it’s Cleveland no one will see it

[IronJack]

Another component of a successful defamation settlement is that the judgment will make a material contribution to remediating the injury. How is giving a bunch of drunken rez-dwellers truckloads of money going to erase this imaginary “damage?”

This case should be summarily dismissed.

Indians were unconcerned since forever until the leftist PC police stirred things up.

[a fool in paradise]

Next thing you know, native Americans are gonna sue the makers of those Aztec Mummy movies.

[Gay State Conservative]

Will we next see Hanoi Jane sued for millions for having done the Tomahawk Chop so many times?

[Jack Hydrazine]

Will Harry Reid Tell This 100% Navajo Indian High School Their ‘Redskins’ Mascot is Racist?

[redgolum]

Then I am going to sue over the Minnesota Vikings and the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

[Buckeye McFrog]

One of the few times I would side with Native Americans on this stuff. Chief Wahoo is a damned insulting caricature IMO.

By comparison the Washington Redskin, North Dakota Fighting Sioux, etc. are respectful, realistic presentations.

[faithhopecharity]

I cannot recall ever hearing of legal grounds for such a lawsuit

?

[PATRIOT1876]

I'm offended by idiots suing for no reason at all except that they are going after someone with deep pockets.
I would like to see the Cleveland Indians counter-sue this profiteering group and have the thieves represent all the lazy, greedy, money grubbing suers that hope to win the lottery from someone or some organization that has worked for 100 years to get the money that they resent.

Profiteering?
That's irony with the exact same mass as Jupiter, Neptune, and Saturn combined!
