No more Cleveland Indian logo...maybe not as bad as I thought....
The Cleveland Indians will be removing “Chief Wahoo,” the bright red caricature of a Native American the team uses as a logo, from players’ caps and uniforms starting in 2019.
The divisive logo, which has been publicly protested as a racist and offensive image for decades, will remain on official merchandise available for purchase by fans.
“The team must maintain a retail presence so that MLB and the Indians can keep ownership of the trademark,” The Associated Press reports.
The Indians announced the change on Monday. The team name — which has also been criticized as offensive — will not be changing.

Thanks, Kathy! What a bunch of snowflakes run the sports franchises any more.
I’m so tired of PC I could scream!
