An Ontario court on Monday threw out a last-minute attempt to ban the Indians from using their team name or the Chief Wahoo logo during the American League Championship Series games in Toronto.
Activist and architect Douglas Cardinal filed a claim last week that his human rights were being violated when Indians games were broadcast on TV. Roughly three hours prior to Monday’s Game 3, judge Thomas McEwen of Ontario Superior Court dismissed the claim.
Prior to the judge’s ruling, Major League Baseball released a statement in support of the Indians and their ability to display their team name and the Chief Wahoo logo, both of which were shown during Game 3.
