NPR discussion on Redskins, Chief Wahoo and Native American imagery in sports

In which Chief Wahoo, "Redskins," high schools and colleges changing their team names are discussed.

Just before Opening Day, after Cleveland Indians owner Paul Dolan made comments about moving Chief Wahoo into a secondary role among the team's logos, I wrote about my thoughts on the matter. Longtime member of the Let's Go Tribe family Evan Dawson is the host of a show on NPR's affiliate in Rochester, New York, WXXI. Last week he asked me to be part of a segment on his show, to discuss Chief Wahoo and the use of Native American imagery by sports teams at the professional, collegiate, and high school levels.
