Cleveland Indians Are Favorites to Win World Series, but Chief Wahoo Haunts Baseball
Cleveland Indians Are Favorites to Win World Series, but Chief Wahoo Haunts Baseball
The Cleveland Indians are the odds on favorite to beat the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series (ALDS) that starts Thursday night, and to eventually win the 2017 World Series after losing to the Chicago Cubs in last year's Fall Classic. But success sometimes leads to increased scrutiny, and the team's logo—Chief Wahoo, a grinning, candy-red cartoon of a Native American man—has stirred controversy for more than half a century and again is in the spotlight this month. Critics feel the logo brings pain and humiliation to indigenous people, and protests are being staged outside Progressive Field for every Indians home game this postseason. http://www.newsweek.com/chief-wahoo-...indians-678063 |
