The problem with Chief Wahoo

It seems a clever First Nations lawyer was biding his time, waiting for the media attention of a World Series appearance to take legal action against the MLB's Cleveland franchise for their use of what many consider a culturally offensive mascot, the grinning, red-skinned, feather-wearing Chief Wahoo.

Liz Churchville has fairly summed up the situation at The Scrum Sports.  (An additional article from First Nations' press can be found here.)  The only thing to add is that a sensible solution might be to make First Nations people a part of the solution, to invite them to help choose and create a new name and logo they feel extols their culture and traditions, to give them a chance to make the team theirs.
