The regular baseball season is winding down, but the excitement for fans is far from over. Both the American and National League teams are making their big push for the playoffs and then (hopefully) a run at the World Series. The Takeaway's sports contributor Ibrahim Abdul-Matin gives us his picks for teams to watch.
Also on Ibrahim's agenda? For years, Native American groups have been trying to change the name of professional sports teams such as the Braves, the Cleveland Indians, and the Florida State Seminoles. Now, Native American activists are focusing on the Washington Redskins, and they are trying to take the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Our very own sports contributor, Ibrahim Abdul-Matin, brings us up to speed.

You want to talk about sports? Okay, then. When you first learned what the Duke lacrosse team was accused of, did you keep an open mind, or did you automatically assume that they were guilty because they are Caucasian males and the "victim" is an African American female?
interesting comment, though i am not sure what you mean by anything and everything associated with Caucasian culture - i cover sports, a cultural expression that manifests itself in all racial communities.
"Also on Ibrahim's agenda?"
Oh, we all know what's on Ibrahim's agenda: anything and everything associated with Caucasian culture.
