An enduring symbol of the Cleveland Indians is a cartoon character named Chief Wahoo. I trust that you are familiar with his image. I also assume you are familiar with the murky history of how the team came to be called the Indians. As with many other sports mascots that reference Native American people, the use of Chief Wahoo continues to breed controversy.
On Friday, while the league announced that the Indians would host the 2019 All-Star game, several reporters followed up with commissioner Rob Manfred on his promise to discuss the use of Wahoo with the owner, Paul Dolan.
