The Cleveland Indians on Monday said they will no longer display the controversial Chief Wahoo logo as part of their uniform in 2019. The baseball team's decision prompted a new challenge by The Change the Mascot campaign on Monday for the Washington Redskins to change their nickname.
"The Cleveland baseball team has rightly recognized that Native Americans do not deserve to be denigrated as cartoon mascots, and the team's move is a reflection of a grassroots movement that has pressed sports franchises to respect Native people," Oneida Nation representative Ray Halbritter said in a statement.
