daggins Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Pretty backwards to say this is because a few people were offended. It happened because the logo is a horrifically racist characature based on social mores from 100 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if it weren't for the post counts I'd guess that we'd been invaded by a bunch of alt-right/Russian bots...unless they were playing a really long game.

It’s almost as if people think because they aren’t offended because they are used to seeing it that it’s not an offensive excuse of a logo made when Americans were racist towards Native Americans.

coco1997 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Maybe this will lead to a full rebrand. With Wahoo going, I can't imagine the "Indians" name will be too far behind. At the very least, I hope they come up with something new to use as their new primary logo in place of that bland block "C." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's using a Native American logo tastefully (Chief Illiniwek logo, Seminole logo, Blackhawks logo) and then there's this. This logo is horrific The below is graphic The portrayal of Native Americans as "redskins" or "having red skin" isn't just offensive, it's horrific. Native Americans were scalped and their blood turned their skin red. Edited January 29, 2018 by Sox-35th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are simply things you cannot call your franchise There certainly are some things you shouldn’t call your franchise. But, these Cleveland guys aren’t the Cleveland Wahoos. There are Indian high school teams using “Indians” “Warriors” “Renegades” as logos. I am not offended and their fans and players aren’t either. You might be but that’s you and that’s your deal. I am not offended. But, once again this decision is up to the Cleveland franchise. We all see things differently I guess.

What would you say to the millions of white people who aren’t offended by Notre Dame’s nickname? I’m all for this logo getting scrapped because of its racist undertones, but please stop playing the “white man” card anytime someone isn’t outraged by something. I’m sure there are plenty of other people of varying races & genders who gives two s***s about this logo.

MEANS Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 To be clear, it is being removed from the 2019 uniforms and Chief Wahoo product will still be sold as to protect the trademark of that mark, just not as much product as is out there now. I don't have a problem with the name "Indians" but Chief Wahoo is a pretty offensive logo on it's own. It's about time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
