How Washington’s Football Team Went from Racial Slur to the “Commanders”
The fight to change Washington’s NFL team name and its mascot has been around since the 1960s, but the shift from being called an anti-Native slur to the “Commanders” gained traction after the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests and movements for racial justice. Sports journalist Bomani Jones and Crystal Echo Hawk, executive director of IllumiNative and citizen of Pawnee, join Roy Wood Jr. to discuss how harmful Native imagery is in sports branding, how Americans are undereducated in Native issues, and what’s next for other professional sports teams (looking at you, Kansas City).
