Organizers protesting the Cleveland Indians' use of the Chief Wahoo logo have asked to be involved in talks with Major League Baseball about changes to the contentious symbol. A group asking the Indians to abolish the red-faced, smiling logo and their nickname gathered outside Progressive Field on Tuesday before the club's home opener against the Chicago White Sox. Carrying signs that read ''Racism Honors No One'' and ''Real People Not Mascots,'' the protesters peacefully voiced their opinions as police officers looked on.
