Indians to remove chief Wahoo stating in 2019

[Rookiemonster]

Well as a Yankees fan I can’t say it hurts me that bad. But I do feel this is unnecessary to do at this point. I know not everyone will agree with me but this seems to be to PC for me. We will have to start removing everything from the public eye in fear of offending someone. You can’t please all the people all the time.

Another case of the white man putting the red man down.

Good.

People often bring hyperbole into these things but I don't see how this could negatively impact anyone. Nor do I see much more room in sports for something like this to occur, perhaps outside of the Red Skins. So I don't really understand the "what's next?" point of view. There's nothing arbitrary about the decision.

I am increasingly finding it difficult to care about what anybody does.

I agree packs but also the name Indians would have to be changed. Also the name of the Yankees comes from a derogatory term for the Dutch in the north.
Getting in to other sports would open more of this up( like the red skins) maybe we should start call the teams 1-2-3 etc .

The "what's next" point of view means what's next in society, not just the sports world.

For someone who advocates Freedom of Speech (as you certainly did in the Colin Kaepernick thread defending his right to kneel), you sure don't mind limiting the speech of others.

This part of the hyperbole I was talking about. Limiting speech how? You can wear any shirt you want with the logo on it. You can wear all the hats you want. The baseball team just won't be using the logo as their official logo anymore. What does that have to do with free speech or taking rights away from people?

Great.
And now the world has been cured of all its ills.
Just like that.

We live in a too-easily-offended society. Just my 2 cents worth. Sad to see it go. Such an iconic logo

Poor use of time, resources, and energy.

This thread has gone too long without cards! Ok, so they are football. Only photos of cards on my phone.
