This all happened when I was out of town. Many people grumbled, but there were no open protests - probably because it was too freakin' hot (not like Cleveland, which is usually a mild climate - in the summer).
But the sun was causing unusually high temps, brought down by intermittent rain, then climbing again, shortly after. No, NOT 'Climate Change' - just normal variation in the weather.
So, the Climate Change we were all concerned with was the long-anticipated Demise of Chief Wahoo, and the Horrible, Racist, Very-Bad Name of the Cleveland Baseball Team.
I WISH the team could use the logo at the link - that would be wonderful. But, no, they had to *$^k around with THIS: Bland, boring, and an echo of other teams (see the many logos at the link).
Ridiculous, as we have an awesome link to a great graphic:
It would be easy to come up with a logo incorporating that grim, determined visage.
But, no, they had to Go Bland. Probably did this even more bland, trying to make up for the "HORROR OF OFFENSIVENESS" that Chief Wahoo represented to the Perpetually Offended.
Here he is for the last time:
FWIW, I've known guys that didn't look that much different - some descended from tribal peoples, others not.
I'll still watch the games. I'll likely still wear the offending logo.
Deal with it.
