Chief Wahoo—a racist caricature of a Native American—remains the logo of the Cleveland Indians despite a campaign by some to get the baseball franchise to finally do away with the controversial emblem.
Other sports franchises, most prominently the Washington Redskins, use Native American mascots. But the Indians' logo stands out for its blatant offensiveness. And so for a number of years, controversy has followed Chief Wahoo. Recently, a Native American activist asked a judge to ban the name and logo before Game 3 of the ALCS. Fans have shown up to World Series games at Progressive Field with red face paint and headdresses, a clear appropriation of American Indian culture.
