18 sett 1970 anni - The NFL and AFL Merge

Descrizione:

The merging of the AFL and NFL was a historic moment in American sports history. Prior to the merging of the two leagues, they had been in competition with each other for several years, with the NFL being the more established and more popular league, but the newer of the two leagues, the AFL, was known for its high scoring games and the teams' innovative style of play. The merger was created after years of negotiations and discussions between the two leagues. The new merged league was created to make a more competitive and profitable league. The new league retained the name of the more popular of the two, the NFL, which quickly became one of the most popular and successful leagues in the world. Today, the NFL is a multi-billion dollar organization that is watched by millions all around the world. It is a major part of American culture and some would argue that it is because of the merging.
