Ep.87 - Hong-Kong, Washington NFL Team & DJ Akademiks

In a week where:

1. Manchester City will play in the Champions League next season after club’s two-year ban from European football was overturned. 
2. As Lewis Hamilton wins the Styrian GP & puts his fist up on the podium, he challenges other F1 teams to do more. 
3. The UK will ban Huawei from UKs 5G network and have all existing kits by 2027.
4. Banksy returns with lockdown themed pieces on a tube train.

In Sports: (25:38) The Washington NFL Team have finally gotten rid of their racist team name and logo. But while this is a win, the bigger picture shows that money runs these decisions and not basic morals.

In the second Life segment: (37:00) We now know how often Black British History is mentioned in GCSE History. Spoiler alert, it's not great.

Lastly, in Music: (50:47) DJ Akademiks has been able to go from fledgeling YouTube bullshit-thrower to commentator on the culture at large and a fanbase that allows suburban white kids to enjoy Hip-Hop in the worst way: As a circus where they don't care about the human aspects of anything.
