Rob Manfred says MLB will revisit Chief Wahoo logo in off-season

Commissioner Rob Manfred sent a message that Major League Baseball will not

tolerate racism when it suspended Houston Astros slugger Yuri Gurriel for

making an inappropriate gesture in Game 3 of the World Series, he announced

Saturday in Houston.


Yet Manfred and MLB, advocacy groups believe, have ceded the moral high

ground on cultural sensitivity when it enables Chief Wahoo -- the Cleveland

Indians' longtime logo that depicts a caricature of a grinning red-faced

Native American -- to remain.


Manfred tried to draw a distinction between Gurriel’s action, which was

directed toward a single player, and the Indians’ Chief Wahoo logo.

"I see a difference in behavior from one player directed specifically at a

player and a logo," said Manfred. "While both are problematic, I don’t see

them as the same issue."



"We continue to have conversations about the Indians with the logo and I

intend to revisit it in the off-season."

Gurriel will serve a five-game suspension without pay in 2018 and attend

sensitivity training this offseason. He was caught on camera making a

slant-eyed gesture and laughing after his second-inning home run in Game 3

off Los Angeles Dodgers starter Yu Darvish, a native of Japan


Gurriel apologized afterward, saying he did not mean to offend Darvish.

Manfred and Indians owner Paul Dolan have met multiple times since 2016 on

the sensitive subject, which again became a national debate after the Indians

reached to World Series last season.


In April, Manfred said he would like to see the Indians “transition away”

from the polarizing image, but nothing has been mandated.



簡單來說，Yuli Gurriel會在明年球季禁賽五場


大聯盟主席也順便強調將在本季末要求印地安人隊要去掉Chief Wahoo的酋長隊徽


為了是要消除種族歧視




至於印地安人隊是不是有打算要這麼做，這要看印地安人球團要怎麼回應了
