National Football League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (5886 words) |
 | The NFL's greatest spurt in popularity came in the 1960s and 1970s after the 1958 NFL Championship Game (which went into overtime); and the emergence of the rival American Football League (AFL) (1960-1969), and the NFL's eventual merger with it in 1970. |
| The NFL is the only organization among the four major professional sports leagues of North America to have all of its teams in the United States; the MLB, NBA, and NHL have one, one, and six teams in Canada, respectively. |
| The NFL is able to utilize the possible relocation of a franchise to Los Angeles as a threat, for example when trying to persuade local governments to contribute to the cost of new stadiums for its other franchises. |
