I had a friend of mine at school who took part in a protest a couple of times during the summer at Jacobs Field to have the Cleveland Indians management Office get rid of the Chief Wahoo Image that was considered Offensive to Native Americans.
But It's hard to change the logo because it's been a part of the team for so long and everyone pretty much used to seeing it on the hats, Jerseys, etc. and they bringing in a pretty good amount of money from people buying those items at the sporting goods stores.
