October 3, 1920 The NFL Begins

On October 3, 1920 the first games of the NFL were played. At the time it was called the American Pro Football Association. As I'm sitting here watching previews to the football games for today its hard to imagine what the world would be like today without the NFL. There would be no Super Bowl, no fantasy football, and no lazy sunday afternoons watching some football. In a society that is shaped by sports the NFL is arguable the most popular. Besides the World Cup, nothing gets more watches then the Super Bowl. This is obviously an important dates when if we think this is where it all began. Back then there were no helmets, no millions of fans, just some good ol fashion football on a fall afternoon. This may not have been a huge influence on society at the time; however when we look back on it now it is huge. Football has become one of the most popular sports and this is the beginning of it. I obviously would love this event because I am currently loving some football. Im looking forward to my lazy sunday of watching football and this is a possibility because of that day.
