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

We're introducing you to a new show from Slate today called Upon Further Review! Listen to the first episode via Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, Google Play, TuneIn, or wherever you listen. 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.

Upon Further Review and Slow Burn's Leon Neyfakh explores that question, and other great what ifs from sports history. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
