Cleveland Indians Changing Logo After Years of Protest
After years of protest, the Cleveland Indians will remove Chief Wahoo from their uniforms starting in 2019. Chat Sports Founder and CEO James Yoder explains the timing behind the team's decision. Cleveland is hosting the MLB All-Star Game in 2019. Yoder believes this played a role in the team's decision to abandon Chief Wahoo.
Yoder also takes a look at the Vegas odds going into Super Bowl weekend. The Patriots were on top over the last few weeks, but millions of dollars have poured in for Philadelphia recently. If the Patriots win, it will be the 6th Super Bowl win with owner Robert Kraft, coach Bill Belichick, and quarterback Tom Brady.
