Dogs in Autumn: The History of American Football

BONUS 5: Pop Warner, Jim Thorpe, and Early Football at Carlisle Indian Industrial School


Listen Later

In this episode of Dogs in Autumn: The History of American football, I'm stopping briefly in eastern PA to take a look at one of the stranger (and darker) parts of American football history--Carlisle Indian Industrial School. We'll meet Pop Warner and Jim Thorpe, and then I'll get outta your hair and let you decide where you think this strange chapter in the history of the sport fits.


Thanks for listening. Feel free to reach out on Twitter @DogsInAutumn, or email me at DogsInAutumn (at) gmail (dot) com. Also, if you're feeling kind, please leave a review.
