What Was The NFL Really Like 100 Years Ago
Рет қаралды 915
2 жыл бұрынwhat was the nfl like 100 years ago? Its a very hard question to answer here. 100 years ago back in 1921 was extremely different, many different rules, players and the fanbase was a lot smaller back in those days as well. Heck you couldn't even watch full games in your own TV. You would have to go out to an actual game to see. College football was a lot bigger then the NFL was 100 years ago. So in today's video I will try cover the forgotten period of the NFL and covering the NFL rag days or the early period of the NFL.

It was appropriate that the NFL was called an association in the early 20s. In fact that’s what it was until 1936. When it truly became a league. Because until then, there was no set schedule. And teams played a different number of games. one of the definitions of the word league in terms of sports is that all teams play a set schedule and the same number of games. And of course it’s not the Chicago Stanleys. It’s the Chicago Staleys.

I am unsure of what the oldest nfl footage, however I do know the 1929 packers vs giants footage exists.

0:41--First point in favor of the 1920s NFL: No "Tuck Rule". (There was no such thing as roughing the passer until c. 1939) 1:17--University of Chicago vs Michigan, 1904. Shot by Thomas Edison's film company. Thanks for posting this. Fascinating history.

I wonder if any of those championship footballs are still around and what they would go for in an auction.

Another big difference is they had a few people of color (Afro and Indigenous Americans) playing the sport and I think the great Jim Thorpe besides playing, was the first president of the league. In the 30's you can blame George Preston Marshall for the racial segregation policies.

Great point Cort I did fail to mention that in this video but that was another massive difference as well. Well said 👍
