Cleveland Indians Will Abandon Controversial ‘Chief Wahoo’ Logo Next Year

The Cleveland Indians will bid farewell to their controversial cartoon mascot, Chief Wahoo, at the end of the 2018 season, the team announced today.

The New York Times reports that Cleveland made the decision only recently, but nonetheless, they feel that the mascot, who is a cartoon Native American with a garish smile, is “no longer appropriate for use on the field.”
