In addition to taking college classes in sports culture and sports journalism, both from a New York Times columnist, I chose to do an Economics Of Labor project studying the possible competitive effects of racial discrimination in the NFL Draft in the 1950s.

Yes, PBS has an app, and we have PBS passport for $5/month (primarily as a charitable donation but it has some value too).
