Show Notes
Roy discusses the few sports teams who still capitalize off racist Native stereotypes with sports journalist, Bomani Jones and executive director of IllumiNative and citizen of Pawnee Crystal, Echo Hawk. Although teams like the Cleveland Guardians and the Washington Commanders have changed their branding from anti-Native imagery and slurs, the three inspect the harm posed, the education of Native issues, and what’s next for other professional sports teams. Listen to new episodes of Beyond the Scenes hosted by Roy Wood Jr. every Wednesday wherever you get your podcasts.
