A move that should have happened a long time ago. There's a lot of debate over names, but what argument does someone make over such a ridiculous caricature like Chief Wahoo?

Good, longer overdue.

"Oddly" enough, none of those have been decried as racist. As I said, I understand them getting rid of the Indians logo, I am just laughing at the hypocrisy. Also if you think the only protesters for the Indians were Native Americans, you're wrong. It's also the usual suspects of college kids with too much time on their hands, and middle aged white folk with the same.

With the exception the Celtics, those probably aren't the best comparisons as they're drawn to convey toughness, courage. It's a far cry from a caricature with a penis nose.
