Jesse Berrett page on Sports History Network.
In this episode we cover Jesse's book about politics and the NFL. The book is titled - Pigskin Nation: How the NFL Remade American Politics," so you know there's a different twist from most of my interviews. We get into many topics. Below are a few:

How Richard Nixon used the NFL to his gain

Why the New Orleans Saints have politicians to thank

A discusson about how it went down with Colin Kaepernick (and the first men to stand for the rights of Americans)

Much more

Speaking of his book, Jesse has graciously offered to send an autographed copy of his book to one lucky winner.
