Sad that an iconic baseball logo will be no more, but it is clearly the right decision. Its undeniably racist and indefensible.

Hopefully they pick something other than that weird blocky C to replace it.

Yeah, the C itself isn't bad, but it would be terrible as the Indians' only logo.

I would call it more racially insensitive than racist, but otherwise I completely agree with you.  As much as I hate to see such an iconic and longstanding logo be retired, it's clearly offensive to many people (myself included) and probably should have been dropped decades ago.

You're right on the wording.
