No more Chief Wahoo.

[Omar 382]

@Cedrique hinted at this earlier with his ingenious idea of allowing buffalo to roam free in the outfield.... if I were the Indians (which I'm not- I'm straight), but if I were- I would really ramp up the Chief Wahoo shit in its final year. Like start building wigwam's in a section of the bleachers for children to play in and parents to learn about. Start some promotion, where the currency to buy hot dogs is wampum, and you get so much of it after going to so many games at Progressive.

My personal favorite would be their own chant, like the Braves' Tomahawk Chop, or the Vikings' Skol Clap in football. The Indians chant would be where they have bonfires in the cold seasons of Cleveland (early April, the playoffs) and the fans dance around it going "Huyahuyahuyaha" (pronounced: Hi-Yi-Hi-Yi-Hi-Yi-Hi-Yi). This would really be a direct message to Manfred to fuck off in the future.

This is what I'm going for

Actually this is kind of a bastardization of my idea, but I guess I'll go with it. I actually owe a great debt of gratitude to a Native American boy that helped me and my sister when we got lost at the Grand Canyon one summer.

You owe him a "great debt of gratitude"? Like, you really need to track that boy down in Wyoming and thank him and offer him proper shelter and housing now that you're rich because he saved your life ?

 

[Cedrique]

Did they say whether Thome would still be allowed to wear the Chief Wahoo hat for his Hall of Fame speech?

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Of course. It’d be stupid not to. MLB is forcing the Indians to get rid of a mascot that is very popular within their fanbase. Why wouldn’t/shouldn’t they try to cash in?

I read something interesting earlier. The Indians will continue to sell Chief Wahoo merchandise in limited quantities in NE Ohio and Arizona to maintain trademark rights. Apparently, there is a forfeiture of trademark rights if you cannot claim a loss of revenue. So they are going to continue to sell small quantities to keep control

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

This means war.

I’m going to the nearest Indian casino and I’m going to take a huge shit in the bathroom sink.

Do me and the family a favor please? Wear a banner or t-shirt indicating what you are protesting this time? My kids have witnessed you taking a shit in the sink before at the casino and they need to know this time is a political commentary

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

I will admit to having a soft spot for the Tribe. They were my “second team” for years because I respected a team that could lose so much and still produce loyalty. I’ll likely buy a new hat this year if I can find a version with Wahoo.

Visit my Ebay store. I have plenty of Wahoo hats dating back to the early 80's. The stains are "game worn" ok?

I would think he would appreciate a bottle of fire water and a nice lice infested blanket more

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Daddy, what is Mr. Redfoot doing? Don't look back run kids!!!

 

[Tapey]

Well looks like i need to buy a chief wahoo hat.

[SlinkyRedfoot]

On the universal scale of whiney faggots, would this be up there, or nah?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I say yeah. I’ve fucked tougher women an this OldHoss character. My dick in his eye.

I don't know if this is Manfred's doing or if MLB has just come down hard on this, but my guess is that the team's front office has come from another generation where they see this sort of message as part of their culture. Like it or not, society changes with the way it's educated. You can argue for or against that, but it's clear this isn't something that just happened in a vacuum.

The argument over Wahoo has been ongoing for a decade or more and if the ASG is pinned to it, the club can take apart two paleface whiners with the same tomahawk. All the same, as I understand it, the team isn't going to wear the Wahoo on its caps or sleeves, which doesn't mean they can't keep selling Wahoo gear in the merchandise shop for the next million years.

Great, some poor Latino immigrant will have to clean it.

 

[Cyder]

I can’t decide if I want to give you a big hug, or punch you in the dick.

Why chose?

Or tired of being ignored.
