Football in America: A Lecture by Journalist Evan Weiner (Via ZOOM)

The National Football League is the premier sport in the United States. But it always wasn’t that way. Evan Weiner takes us back to the days when the NFL was a mom and pop store operation with the players and others who witnessed the league’s growth first hand. The game started in the coal mines in western Pennsylvania and is a multi-billion-dollar business today.
