  1. 4:30 Nixon DID NOT play Football! He played an over-choreographed, over-organised game called "Gridiron". Football is a European game, invented in England where the object of the game is to defeat the goalkeeper and kick or head the ball into a goal net, and the ball is spherical, as balls should be.

  2.  @siegfriedsassoon5071  Soccer IS football! It is played by kicking the ball with the FOOT! The full and proper name of the game is British Association Football!

  3.  @thecawdsquad875  Nixon played "Gridiron", which is as far removed from being "football" as the Planet Mercury is from the Planet Pluto!

  4.  @thecawdsquad875  Fact: The origin of Football goes back to England in the early 19th Century. the game's official name is British Association Football, and that excludes any and all other "pretenders" to the name, including Rugby League, Rugby Union, Australian Rules, and American Gridiron!

  5.  @thecawdsquad875  Well, thankfully for me, I'm an Australian. And I've seen your Gridiron once and that was once too often!

  8. 12:00 A major mistake Nixon made in courting China. China should've remained on the outer and should still be so, even today. Look at how China is behaving now in the second decade of the 21st Century. The only change China underwent was to get progressively worse, posing serious threat to neighbouring countries.

  9. And then Gerald Ford did the UNFORGIVEABLE act of pardoning Nixon, when Ford should've ordered Nixon spend the rest of his life in prison for High Treason for his crimes in office. That Ford pardoned Nixon, opened the way for Trump to be even more criminal in his single term from 2016 to 2020.

  10.  @ljimlewis  Not saying "hang" Nixon, but jail him for life as he committed crimes while holding the highest office in America(but not the world) and pardoning Nixon set a precedent that should never have been set. Gerald Ford gave carte blanche to criminal presidents from that moment onward, and in the past four-to-five years we've watched the ugly result of an autocratic, megalomaniacal president showing his true colours!
