Podcast 1: Native American Mascot Names

In this episode of “What’s up in sports,” host David Goldman discusses why it’s time for Native American mascot names to be eliminated. In a 2013 study by fivethirtyeight.com, 2,129 high school, college and pro teams reference Native Americans in their mascot, showing that this is still a problem. Marquette student and social activist Ryan Barelli as well as Marquette faculty member and Native American Dave Denomie join the podcast to share their opinions.
