Professional Football Researchers Association Forum

I was browsing the new non-fiction section at the library today and I took out several books, including Harvey Frommer's When It Was Just a Game: Remembering the First Super Bowl.

After quite a bit of front matter, the book finally begins on Page 12, where Mr. Frommer tells us that the "American Professional Football Conference" was founded in 1920 at a meeting in Canton, Ohio.

Near the bottom of the page, he says that the "American Professional Football Conference" was renamed the "National Football League" in 1922.

I honestly don't know if I should bother reading any further.

Just look at the pictures... you'll feel better.
(Don't read the captions! Just the pics...)

American Professional Football Conference was the name originally adopted at the first meeting on August 20, 1920. However in the next meeting a month later it was changed to the Association.

Thanks, Todd, I wasn't aware of that.
