Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In the past week, the sports headlines have been dominated sex, politics and the law. A “peeping tom” videotape of a popular female sports broadcaster has fans and reporters reporters wondering how far gender roles have advanced in sports journalism. And the possible re-instatement of a disgraced football player – involved in an illegal dogfighting ring– is raising difficult questions about discipline and fairness. We’re “Sporting Views.”
