SUMMARY:Pullman & the Global Game - Exploring the Legacy in Pullman
DESCRIPTION:Step back in time to 1883\, when one of the earliest documented Association Football (or “soccer\,” as we call it in the USA) matches in Chicago was played between the city’s Wanderers and a team from Pullman.\nSoccer flourished in the Pullman community\, with its men’s team dominating the Illinois state championships\, winning 9 of 15 titles between 1912 and 1926. They also made national waves\, competing in the US Open Cup and reaching the championship match in 1912-13\, just before the tournament’s official sanctioning. \nBut the story of soccer in Pullman goes far beyond the men’s team. From the girls’ soccer team—immortalized in photographs from the Chicago History Museum—to the broader community that embraced the sport\, Pullman was a hub of athletic and cultural activity. \nThis discussion will dive into Pullman’s rich soccer history and explore intriguing questions: \n\nWho participated in sports in Pullman\, and what did their involvement say about the community?\nHow did soccer players—both men and women—shape and reflect the identity of Pullman?\nWhat became of soccer in Pullman after the men’s team’s loss in the 1927 Illinois state championship to Coal City?\n\nJoin us for an engaging exploration of how Pullman’s vibrant soccer scene shaped its legacy and contributed to the broader story of the sport in America. \n
