NFL HISTORY
1. THE NFL A BRIEF HISTORY OF BRUCESTREBINGER.NET
2. The NFL was originally known as the American Professional Football Association (APFA). It was formed on September 17, 1920.
3. However, the APFA did not change its name until 1923, when it became the NFL (National Football League).
4. The very first president of the newly formed league was Jim Thorpe, a world renowned athlete who helped to bring much credibility and popularity to NFL football.
5. Members of the original league included the Chicago Tigers, Buffalo All-Americans, Detroit Heralds, and the Columbus Panhandles.
6. Today, only two of the original teams are still active in the NFL, the Chicago Bears (formerly known as the Decatur Staleys) and the Arizona Cardinals (formerly known as the Chicago Cardinals).
NFL FACES PROBLEM
The recent controversy over the national anthem began in 2016, when then-NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick initially sat, and later switched to taking a knee, during the pre-game anthem to protest racial discrimination, especially at the hands of police.
KEY PLAYER
President Donald Trump -- both on the stump and on Twitter -- repeatedly expressed his disgust with athletes who take a knee during the pre-game rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner.

The issue of kneeling has nothing to do with race. It is about respect for our Country, Flag and National Anthem. NFL must respect this!

STAKES INVOLVED
Most NFL players, and some coaches and owners, reacted against Trump’s words by linking arms as the national anthem was played before games on Sept. 24 and 25, and the Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans remained largely off-field for the anthem.
Addressing the situation
Trump tweeted, “If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place. Fire or suspend!”
NFL Commissioner Goodell wrote that the league could “meet this challenge in a unified and positive way.”
A rule change that would require players to stand for the national anthem.
“like many of our fans, we believe that everyone should stand for the National Anthem.”
ACTION TAKEEN
CNN reported that the NFL will re-air in primetime tonight a unity-themed ad in response to the weekend’s events.
Teams tweeted their support for the players, with the Jaguars sending out a one-word tweet “Unity”
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti posting the following statement:
“We recognize our players’ influence. We respect their demonstration and support them 100 percent. All voices need to be heard. That’s democracy in its highest form.”
