The Washington Redskins were in the playoffs thereby forcing announcers to determine if they’re going to say a team name or not. The reason for the debate is whether or not people deem the term racist. Have that debate as you wish. What I’m more curious about is how MLB gets a pass:

  
I honestly take it at face value the team name Indians does not have racist origins. However, there is no way the logo isn’t racist. Even if we accept the person who created the logo didn’t think it was racist, it’s fair also fair to say similar images at the time were used to promote negative stereotypes, i.e. its a racist depiction. A racist depiction that is on the field nine months out of the year. However, it’s alright because it’s not on the field during the All Star Game:

  
or Memorial Day:

  
Essentially, whenever MLB creates hats they want everyone to wear they go with the Cleveland “C” as opposed to the official team logo. It’s MLB having it both ways. They don’t want you to see the Chief Wahoo, but they’re not taking it away. It’s pretending there’s no problem. They’re pretending that if you don’t see it, there’s no issue. 

Well, there is an issue. There’s a logo that offends people. I’m not sure the logo was ever okay. I’m sure it’s not okay now. Its not political correctness. It’s an issue of not purposefully offending people. 

Chief Wahoo needs to go away.
