The Cleveland Indians are finally retiring their controversial Chief Wahoo logo
The Cleveland Indians are bidding adieu to Chief Wahoo, their controversial Native American mascot who has served as the team's primary logo until recently and has still had a major presence with the team.
The announcement was made on Monday, via the New York Times, as the team said the Wahoo logo, long derided as a racist caricature by many, would be fully removed from the team's current set of jerseys and logos by 2019.
