Super Bowl LVII is coming to Arizona this weekend. The Philadelphia Eagles are facing off against the Kansas City Chiefs for the NFL title.
While this is happening, the Chiefs are the next professional sports team that some say need to face the music: it's time to change the name and traditions of the team.
In this week's episode of Valley 101, a podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, we unpack the details. We are joined by Arizona Republic Indigenous affairs reporter Debra Krol to discuss the offensive history of the team's name and why Native activist groups want to modify in-game customs.
