Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
What happens when our political arguments bleed onto the baseball diamond, the football field or the basketball court? Many Americans get uncomfortable when politicians or athletes cross into each others’ spheres — when Congress wades into baseball’s drug controversies or when athletes make public declarations of their faith or political views. We explore the interplay of sports and American politics.
