You can almost set your clock by these social justice warriors. If there is some fun activity that is bringing people great joy—an occasion where for a few hours Americans are not at each other's throats—you can guarantee that some social justice warrior will appear, grim reaper-like out of nowhere, to put and end to it. Only this time it's a Canadian trying to screw up an American pastime.

Canadian SJW Douglas Cardinal is seeking a court order that would prohibit the Cleveland Indians from wearing their team jerseys, displaying their Chief Wahoo logo—or even using their team name—when they play in the American League Championship Series games against the Blue Jays in Toronto this week.

Cardinal, who has been described as an "indigenous activist" and an "officer of the Order of Canada," claims that the Indians' mascot, Chief Wahoo, and even the team's name, are discriminatory and offensive and he has asked the Ontario Superior Court, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, and the Canadian Human Rights Commission to step in and ban them for the upcoming series. Cleveland leads the Blue Jays in the 7-game series two games to none.

James Fuller, a spokesman for Cardinal, told the National Post that the Indians should just be referred to as "the Cleveland team" during the upcoming games.

At first glance this suit may appear to be annoying at the very least, or perhaps even silly. But he has filed this in Canada, a country where free speech is limited and a hypersensitivity to claims about discrimination against minorities, actual or written, is predominant (to put it mildly).

Should the Indians lose the suit, and they might, I would love for them to say "shove it" and refuse to play in Canada. Won't happen, of course, because no American institution will ever stand up to SJW bullying, but that, or something comparable, would be nice.

Maybe some orthnithological SJW can sue to ban the Blue Jays from using their name in Cleveland, since their name is offensive to other Corvidiae [crows, ravens], various raptors, wading birds, and developmentally challenged non-flying birds, like chickens, emus, cassowaries, etc.
