I'm fine with no CW.
I just don't want to be stuck with only a block C.
I've heard many people say that they find these logos offensive too because there is still native imagery. And I shit you not, I've even heard some people say the crooked C logo you mentioned is racist too, because it is supposed to look like a native carved it into a tree or something, which is a stereotype.
Or just go back to the crooked C from the 70s

Unfortunately, I think getting rid of Wahoo isn't going to be the end of all this. The name will still be protested, and eventually that will change too.
No trust me, I agree. I took a Native Studies class in college so this debate naturally came up. A handful in the class found the 70's wordmark and logo offensive. These same people also found the Kansas City Chiefs use of an arrowhead in their logo to be a stereotype and offensive. Some people just go to the extreme I guess.Whaaattt? At what point does the net for "that's racist, has to go" end? This isn't about Chief Wahoo, or the name Indians for that matter. I understand both of those, personally. I don't think there's any basis for this "carved C" thing, but since someone said that (if they did) does that also need to go? At what point do some of these claims fall flat? Like, if it makes a person upset in any context, is it "too insensitive"?

Don't the Braves use a tomahawk?
They got rid of Chief Noc-A-Homa and I really don't hear anything over their tomahawk.
They do, and some people do take offense to that too. It isn't nearly as much as Wahoo or the Redskins name, but they are out there.Don't the Braves use a tomahawk?

My cousin with a Native American heritage & PhD in Native American studies already said today that the Wahoo going isn't enough.
Which McDonalds does he work at?
