Considering that there is a Court hearing Monday on potential Ontario ban of Cleveland Indians name and logo. Do you find the Indian logos offensive? Do natives have a right to complain or are they oversensitive?
The game can be cancelled tonight over this. There were also complains about the Tomahawk chop with the Atlanta Braves, I don't know how that ended.
The United Church of Canada and the United Church of Christ issued a joint statement urging the baseball team to change its name, calling the move "a small but significant step toward racial justice and reconciliation."
A Toronto court will hear arguments Monday on an attempt to bar the Cleveland Indians from using their team name and logo in Ontario.
The legal challenge by indigenous activist Douglas Cardinal comes on the same day that the baseball team takes on the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series.
Cardinal’s lawyers will ask the court to bar the usage of the name and logo by the team, Major League Baseball and Rogers Communications, which is broadcasting the American League Championship Series.
Rogers also owns the Blue Jays and the stadium they play in, the Rogers Centre. Rogers is also the parent company of this station and this website.
The logo, called Chief Wahoo, is a cartoon man with red skin and a feather in his headband.
Cardinal’s representatives say team members shouldn’t be allowed to wear their regular jerseys, the logo shouldn’t be broadcast and the team should be referred to as “the Cleveland team.”
