Upon Further Review: What If Nixon Had Been Good At Football?

from Slate Magazine Daily Podcast

From the mind of Mike Pesca, a new Slate podcast called Upon Further Review.  In this episode, football really mattered to Richard Nixon. Only one problem — he sucked at it. That frustration fueled a persecution complex that would eventually bring down his presidency. How would history be different had Nixon been more than just a tackle dummy on his college football team? Upon Further Review and Slow Burn's Leon Neyfakh explores that question, and other great what ifs from sports history.
