ESPN host Bomani Jones wore a "Caucasians" t-shirt mocking the Cleveland Indians' "Chief Wahoo" logo during the "Mike & Mike" show on Thursday.

The shirt includes the word "Caucasians" in the Indians' font, with a character based on "Chief Wahoo" that has white skin (instead of red), a basic nose (instead of a large, hooked nose), blonde hair (instead of dark hair parted, and held down by a head band), and a dollar sign (instead of a feather).

Here are the two logos side-by-side:

it is not about the logo - it’s about being forced to change their logo to something the ‘progressives’ approve of. its about power. raw power.

YES!!!

The socialist racists want to force you (yes, YOU personally) to bow and grovel before them. Nothing less.

Go the rest of the way and create one called the Cleveland “N...ers” with a dark brown mascot.

Yeah I want to see a white guest were such a shirt and see what the reaction is.

[KSCITYBOY]

Here’s a thought - turn off ESPN. Seriously what a waste of time watching some dumb asses sit around and talk about other dumb asses.

I'm going to piss them off by NOT being offended.

funny how they object to the church’s preaching because they view that as forcing their views on everybody else, when they do the same thing, if not worse - their’s isn’t voluntary

An ESPN host...
Quit watching ESPN 10+ years ago. Will only watch if forced to do so like yesterday's Masters coverage.

Available as a hoodie!

[eartrumpet]

a basic nose (instead of a large, hooked nose),

Who is this writer to decide which nose is basic and which nose is large? Racist! Racist!

My hometown's h.s. mascot is the Mountaineers, Mounties for short. When I first moved here I couldn't believe they had a corn cob pipe in his mouth. Smoking!!

Then I learned he used to have a jug of moonshine and a rifle.

Still think it's a pretty cool mascot.

The dollar bill replacing the feather is the giveaway that this idiot’s complaint is really about capitalism and not racism. Either that or all black activists are also communists, which is probable.

Of course the Caucasians get a dollar sign, NOT an EBT card...

>> turn off ESPN. <<<
One of the reasons I cut the cord and refuse to listen to ESPN radio.

[Kid Shelleen]

If you scalped them at the GOP convention in Cleveland this year I bet you would make a killing.

Wait, leprechauns are not even human, so can they be Caucasian?

[CodeToad]

Outside of retards who actually watches or listens to ESPN??

[NorthMountain]

I miss the old "Mountain Dew" logos and artwork:

Ironically, my Choctaw grandmother pulled for every team in every sport that had an Indian mascot . . . except for Cleveland. She said the mascot doesn’t even look like an Indian. Said she: “He looks like a Jap.” LOL!

What! Oh no, can't be true .... next you'll say there's no Santa.
