About this listen

U.S. presidents have embraced sports as a way to connect with the American people, as a way to celebrate everyday life in America, and as a way to get things back to normal after crises. Sports have also played a unique role as comforter in times of nationwide pain. This episode, just after Lincoln's birthday and just before Washington's, is all about the relationship between presidents and our sports.
