Suiting up for football season
Native athletes helped kick off football’s popularity in the early days and there are a number of talented Native NFL players.
The sport attracts a large Native following despite problematic mascots, tomahawk chops, and headdresses. The season is still young, rivalries are heating up, and fans have their sights set for a post-season appearance.
Thursday on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce huddles with Native football players and those who root for them.
