More political correctness and leftist agendas invade sports.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Braves are probably next.

What does the Native American Council say?? Their Decision will say the correct way to go.

All the rest is just forked Tongue talk.

No one has a sense of humor anymore...

Chief Wahoo is a MASCOT... not a culturally significant representation of all indians.

And the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Highly offensive to redheads, and Irish in general.

I live near one of the Seneca reservations here in Western New York. A few weeks ago I went to the “fall festival” there and saw a young guy, about 20 years old and HUGE, with a Cleveland Indians hat on. With the logo in this story. I first talked to him about how the team was doing, I’m a 60 year fan, and quickly realized he knew almost nothing about the team. I told him I was concerned about wearing my hat and he laughed. He had the hat because so many people on the “res” LOVE that logo!

Many years ago Dennis Praeger had a "Native American activist" on his show how was trying to pressurer terams with "offensive" names to change them,. This assclown asked Peager, an ordained rabbi how he would like it if there was a team called the Texas Jewboys (obviously he never heard of Kinky Freidman .) Praeger laughed and replied he would be overjoyed because FINALLY after 5000 years someone would be cheering for us.

I will have to look up the info, but the ballclub is named after a dear member of the organization in his HONOR. Applying current PC paradigms to historical figures, language and ideas is so dangerous and small-minded.

Don’t we have better things to consider? The following website has well over 100 listing of high schools in the US that are using American Indian names or mascots:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sports_team_names_and_mascots_derived_from_indigenous_peoples

If you look it up, make some time because you’ll be there a while

Just change his name to ‘Chief Wantum Scalpum White Devil’.
Whitey don't care.

Ijuns don't care either.

Only the race industry cares.

I would update Chief Wahoo, by having him wear a ‘Make America Great Again’ cap...

If the left is truly serious about eliminating all cultural references of the original native Americans, nuking a few team logos is a pointless waste of time: they need to eradicate every geographic reference in our nation that uses a native American word and cleanse our dictionary of all native American words as well.
