There is an outcry over the tomahawk chop. Also, (and this is just my personal view) Chiefs and Braves are both generic terms (like Warriors) as opposed to a slang term specifically pointing out the ethnicity of a people whose culture was destroyed. Honestly the term Indians isn't offensive in my opinion, it's the racist logo that I can't believe is still in use today. Then you have the Florida State Seminoles who have the expressed permission of the Seminole tribe to use their likeness so there's no issue there. I feel like this topic comes up about every six months on this board and the people who don't understand the problem never will. I'm surprised nobody has made the Vikings or Fighting Irish comparison yet. And as that Cleveland fan pointed out, the organization will continue to profit from their racism by selling Wahoo merchandise, they just won't feature it on their official uniforms. Baby steps, I guess. There's nothing at all racist about the Chief Wahoo logo. 🤔
