An ongoing source of controversy in baseball is the Indians' ongoing use of the Chief Wahoo logo. For the uninitiated, here's the logo in question:
The team has, without much acknowledgment, de-emphasized Wahoo in recent years, but it's still an occasional part of the team's uniform. As for the league, MLB addressed the issue in passing during last year's ALCS, but now it appears that commissioner Rob Manfred and the team are having more in-depth discussions about the use of Wahoo ....

The Indians were of course just awarded the 2019 All-Star Game, so presumably there will be some clarity on this front well before that. If recent hints and cultural trends are any guide, then Wahoo may not be used in any official capacity for much longer.
