WHY THE CLEVELAND INDIANS LOST THE 2016 WORLD SERIES  or  

What is the "Curse of Chief Wahoo?


The curse of Chief Wahoo is the bad Karma generated by the Cleveland Baseball Team choosing profits and preferences over valuing people who simply ask not to be portrayed this way. 
During regular season games the bad Karma is localized and diminished. But as the teams climbed up in stature during the play-off games the Karma becomes centralized and stronger as more and more people get in the Spirit of the games. 
During the 2016 World Series, bad Karma reached it peak on a national level and jinxed the Cleveland Baseball Team causing them to lose the Series.
It just doesn't have to be this way.
I'll be honest with you, the Spirits have spoken — as long the Cleveland Baseball Team has this logo, the curse remains and they will NOT win a World Series.
