War Football: WWI and the Birth of the NFL

Author Chris Serb delivers a timely lecture on the history of American football, illustrating the stories of men who served from the warfront to the field. During WWI, to raise the morale of servicemen, each branch of the US military created competitive football teams. The result was a special camaraderie fostered between military players, as well as interest from spectators, which lingered long after war’s ending—leading to the founding of the National Football League in 1920.

March 30. 6:30 pm. National WWI Museum and Memorial Auditorium and YouTube Live.
