They can use a very serious looking Indian. With a giant head.

“That argument lost a little potency Monday when the Indians announced the franchise, under pressure from MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, is removing the buck-toothed caricature of a Native American from team uniforms beginning in 2019.”

Are you kidding me?

Christ.

Maybe the could use a slot machine or a roulette wheel for an authentic native American mascot.

This kind of thing crosses boundaries. I will concede that the Chief Wahoo logo could raise hackles with those who feel depicted. In Halifax, Nova Scotia there is a big controversy. The founder of Halifax was Edward Cornwallis and there is a large statue to him downtown. He is not to be confused with Charles Cornwallis who surrendered to American revolutionary forces. This was in 1781, at Yorktown. The final defeat for Britain.

It is the Miq Maq tribe of native Indians who live in Nova Scotia. They want the statue taken down. They want the name Cornwallis removed as a street name. I believe there is a military/naval base that has the name.

I cannot think what good this does people. Perhaps they are led by activists who game the system with threats. Then a grant of filthy dollars. (Laughs).

2nd worse decision the U.S. has ever made was giving the Indians sovereign status. Forced them to assimilate and become Americans and join the melting pot. Now we have these tribes sucking off the taxpayer teat and having casinos to boot.

Could always use the ‘Crying Indian’, whose parents were Italian immigrants....

Of course ‘whites’ played Indians in most of the Oaters back in the 50s

Guess sort of PC before it was invented...

All the ‘bad’ things that happened to the Indians in the flicks kind of had them ‘scared’ to use real Injuns.

Racists don’t like Indians? Embarrassed by a Native American logo?
