Well, I guess that's some progress. Although the line about "history and legacy" is kind of lame because it being a part of history/legacy doesn't equate to it being right or immovable. Still glad to see that they are taking some action.

I know this isn't even seen as an issue to a majority of fans...but it just never set well with me. I always envisioned a Cleveland Negros baseball team with big caricatured smiling black dude with an afro as the logo - I wouldn't be cool with that, so I'm not cool with Wahoo.

With that said, I'm pulling for the team as it supports the CLE...but not as a fan, not yet.
This is fair. I grew up on chief wahoo and the fan in me says its ok. But if real Indians say it offends them who am I to argue that?

I'm not offended I don't think Seminoles is or the logo is disrespectful. I will say that old Indians logo did make me cringe though. :scust:

One day closer to Brantley coming back. Apparently tomorrow is supposed to be even worse weather. Of course this is the only time BOS is in CLE this season so there will be some scheduling shenanigans later in the year.
