The Cleveland Indians are up 3-1 over the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS, but some news surrounding the organization’s name was back in the news earlier this week.
An injunction was sought to bar the use of the “Indians” name and the use of the “Chief Wahoo” logo during the games in Canada. While it ended up being denied, it did bring up the issue of the use of the name and logo once again.
