Opinion: Chief Wahoo's removal a blow against cultural appropriation

The Cleveland Indians have finally heeded calls to end cultural appropriation. Removing Chief Wahoo from the playing field should be a clarion call to the yahoos who insist on misappropriating Indigenous cultures: no more.
Sports mascots, Pocahontas costumes, or feathered headdresses at music festivals may seem like benign acts, perhaps even well-intentioned symbolic expressions of appreciation for First Nations cultural heritage. But such things are, in fact, examples of cultural appropriation.
