“In 2014 it began to actively step back from the Chief Wahoo logo, but I’d argue the real pivot point was during the 2016 World Series against the Chicago Cubs, when a record number of television viewers, enticed by the historic matchup between two famously tortured franchises, were constantly greeted with images like this one:
