Or not yet ? It is a famous baseball team, for those who don't know.
Curious because of how alarmingly fast the crazy political correctness lunacy seems to progress in the US.

The name is less of an issue than the mascot/logo and even the team has already significantly cut back on its use.

Less the name and more the giant racist caricature they use as a mascot/logo.

When anybody actually starts complaining about them instead of cynically pointing them to excuse the racist caricature that is Chief Wahoo

Boston is heavily Irish-American, and I can't speak from that perspective on a leprechaun mascot. I don't think there are any real vikings left to really complain about how they didn't actually wear helmets with huge horns

Is it the giant grin? Are indians known for small mouths? How is Homer Simpson any different for white people?

This. The Indians name is fine and I barely ever hear any complaining about it, but the "Chief Wahoo" logo (which is basically a cartoony, exaggerated caricature of a native American) is the problem. Using an exaggerated caricature like that with the label of an entire race/nationality, no matter which one, can be seen as offensive these days. The team has already begun phasing that logo out of their merchandise sales, and they don't wear the logo on their game uniforms anymore.

What if it were your race/nationality being shown in such a cartoony fashion?

I'm from Minnesota, and this.

We don't care about the Vikings mascot, because it's not insulting to Scandinavians. It's not a mockery.

They're just phasing out the racist caricature logo and the controversy predates whatever SJWism we're whining about.

The Chiefs work extensively with the local tribes to make sure they are okay. They are fine.

Sorry Cal, you're my Dong bro (lol that sounds so wrong) and all, but I must stand on the other side of this debate. It's a little cartoon face; it's not hurting me in any way.
