The Festival of Ideas logo

“Patriotism, Politics and the Playing Field” is planned today (Nov. 13) at 7:30 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. The panel discussion, presented as part of the David C. Hardesty Jr. Festival of Ideas, will feature national sports journalists, commentators and athletes discussing the intersection of sports, race and media during a time of intense political division and partisanship. A variety of timely issues will be addressed, including the recent decision by the NFL to ban players from kneeling during the national anthem. The event is free and open to the public.
