I was honestly upset about that at first, but realize its not really a big deal. I was in the same camp as you, honoring the native american Louis Sockalexis from the Cleveland Spiders days. However, the other side of that was the Wahoo characiture with exaggerated features and some writings about how Sockalexis really wasnt being honored but just coincidence. I dont necessarily believe the latter, but that was the arguement. Either way, the change was bound to happen eventually due to the controversy. Its sports, so its inconsequential in the grand scheme, and the product did not change.
