I am a long-time American Football League fan who has advocated for the league since its inception in 1959 and its first season, 1960. The bumper sticker shown has been on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame and at official league displays at several Super Bowls. I have a personal website on the league, which was the genesis of modern professional football, as acknowledged by the Pro Football Hall of Fame's website which states: "Almost every element that makes pro football the world's most popular sport that it is today can be traced to the American Football League and the huge changes its presence eventually brought to the sport."
Contributions
[edit]I have created or heavily contributed to many Wikipedia pages relating to the AFL, including the following:
- American Football League
- American Football League All-Star games
- American Football League Rookies of the Year
- American Football League Most Valuable Players
- American Football League Draft
- List of American Football League players
In addition, I have my own, personal AFL Project. It is to have the name of every man who ever played in the AFL, from 1960 through 1969, listed on Wikipedia, and to have an "Infobox" on each player's page showing his pro football statistics and achievements. I have already created or contributed to numerous such player pages.
