Abstract

In Chap. 9 of Pay Dirt: The Business of Professional Team Sports, authors James Quirk and Rodney D. Fort discuss the history of rival football leagues as current or potential threats during their existence to the National Football League (NFL). Before the mid-1940s, these included various groups of teams in the American Football League (AFL)as of 1926, 1936–1937, and 1940–1941. Regarding their significance, the first AFL provided competition because of underfinanced NFL franchises based in small-to-midsized towns during the early 1920s while the second and third AFL’s denoted, in part, that their teams’ owners-investors had overestimated the profit potential of professional football markets in various cities of metropolitan areas across the United States (US).
