Canadian Human Rights Tribunal Allows Discrimination Suit against Televising Cleveland Indians Games to Proceed
Here is the opinion in Cardinal v. Rogers Communications Inc.
An excerpt:
The applicant filed an Application alleging that the respondents discriminated against him because of ancestry, colour, and ethnic origin contrary to the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the “Code”). Specifically, in his Application, the applicant sought an order enjoining Rogers Communications Inc. (“Rogers”); Major League Baseball (“MLB”), and the Cleveland Indians Baseball Company Limited Partnership (“Cleveland Team”) (collectively “the respondents”) from displaying, broadcasting, communicating or otherwise disseminating within Ontario images, representations, depictions or descriptions using the word “Indian” (the “Team Name”) or any form of that name in relation to the Cleveland Team and the “Chief Wahoo” logo (the “Logo”). In addition to filing this Application, the applicant filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission (“CHRC”).

MLB pulls Chief Wahoo off Cleveland’s ’09 Stars and Stripes cap
Major League Baseball is rolling out a new round of Stars and Stripes caps for Memorial Day and it appears that they designed the lids with some common sense this time around.
Please remember last season, when the first round of special hats included a stars-and-stripes emblazoned version of Chief Wahoo on Cleveland’s cap. A mini-controversy erupted with most people agreeing that it probably wasn’t a good idea to endorse the logo with the elements of the American flag and the ideals that it represents.
