Football Is Family is part of the https://sportshistorynetwork.com/ (Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear). Sports and American Trials &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There are certain events in your life where you can remember what you were doing, where you were, and what you were thinking when they took place.&nbsp; These events may only shape your life.&nbsp; But there are other events that can shape a nation. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Over the past year, we have dealt with a pandemic.&nbsp; One that has tested all of us.&nbsp; One that has killed many, many people.&nbsp; And one that has caused us to treasure small moments, family, and everyday life more than we did before. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You would think that sports would be the farthest thing from our minds.&nbsp; But, in reality, sports have helped us.&nbsp;Sports have allowed us to cheer, to get our minds off of world events, and has allowed us to smile and hope once again.&nbsp; Sports truly have a healing affect on a nation in need of healing. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Today we are talking with our friend Clayton Trutor.&nbsp; His talents and knowledge of history come into play as we talk about how sports (the NFL specifically) have helped America recover from events like World War 2, Desert Storm, 9-11, and the Covid Crisis we are in right now.&nbsp; I can’t thank him enough for making this episode great. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Please subscribe to this podcast, and all the other great podcasts on the Sports History Network.&nbsp; While you are at it, please give it a 5 star review on your podcast station of choice.&nbsp;And, if you would like to be featured on this podcast, drop me a message on Twitter @jeremy_mcfarlin, or on the Football if Family Facebook page. <a rel="payment" href="https://ko-fi.com/sportshistorynetwork">Support this podcast</a>
