A Canadian court ruling will allow Game 3 of the ALCS to go on as normal, as a judge stated Monday the Cleveland Indians’ name and “Chief Wahoo” logo do not illegally discriminate against indigenous people, according to the National Post.
On Friday, architect Douglas Cardinal filed a claim that said his human rights are violated when Indians games are broadcast on television. He requested that Judge Thomas McEwen of Ontario Superior Court ban the Indians name and logo from any broadcast until his human rights complaints are heard.
Three hours before Indians-Blue Jays Game 3 at Rogers Centre, Judge McEwen denied the request, meaning Cleveland does not have to replace its uniforms that say “Indians” across the chest and feature a caricature image of a Native American on the sleeves.
