Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The Washington Redskins face off the New York Giants in fall 2014.
The Washington Redskins have suffered yet another legal blow in a two-decade war over their team mascot — this time in federal court. U.S. District Court Judge Gerald Bruce Lee upheld a ruling that canceled the NFL team’s federal trademark registrations, using a recent Supreme Court decision over the Confederate flag to bolster his decision. Kojo explores the significance of the ruling amid growing national momentum against offensive symbols, and finds out how the controversy over the team’s mascot could affect plans for the team’s stadium in the metro region.
