Description
A Community Conversation About the Washington NFL Team Name In this day-long symposium sports writers, scholars, authors, and representatives from sports organizations engaged in lively panel discussions on racist stereotypes and cultural appropriation in American sports. The symposium explores the mythology and psychology of sports stereotypes and mascots, and examines the retirement of "Native American" sports references and collegiate efforts to revive them despite the NCAA's policy against "hostile and abusive" nicknames and symbols. For this final session of the symposium, the panel engages the audience in a spirited community conversation about the name and logo of the Washington, D.C. professional football team. The panelists for this session are: Dr. Philip J. Deloria, Moderator. Author, "Playing Indian and Indians in Unexpected Places"; Professor, History and American Studies, and Associate Dean, Undergraduate Education, College of Literature, Science and the Arts, University of Michigan Hon.
