Football & Race Relations in US History Pt 3

In this episode featuring several things related to New Orleans--the host of this year's championship game, I talk about race and football in the latter portion of the 1960s. Find out about the all-star game boycott in New Orleans that involved a future GOP congressman and cabinet officer, factors that influenced football's integration at the University of Alabama, and the meltdown of Wyoming Cowboy football at the decade's end. As a bonus, I discuss the backroom political deals involving the federal government that helped New Orleans get an NFL franchise. Enjoy, y'all.
