What are all your takes on this squad? With the 100th anniversary of their getting shafted coming up, I wonder if there will be yet another push to get the league to award them that very title.

They weren't shafted. As Bob Carroll demonstrated long ago, they broke a league rule after being warned about it and the franchise was suspended before the season was even over. As a result of their suspension, they didn't even play the final game on their schedule.

They weren't shafted. Shoot, I think the Buffalo All Americans of 1921 have a more solid claim than the Maroons, but I don't really believe they were shafted either. Both teams made late season decisions that cost them dearly ...
