In this episode The American Tapestry Project begins a new series – “Americans and Their Games: Sports in American History and Culture”. Why are Americans so passionate about sports? What does their sports passion tell us about the American Story? What impact did sports have on minority civil rights, women’s quest for equality, and the assimilation of immigrants into American culture? And, just how big a business is the business of sports? “All this and more”, as they say on late night TV, on Episode 34 of The American Tapestry Project.
