At first is struggled in the shadow of baseball as a vaguely disreputable professional sport, and had trouble competing for athletes and fans. Through a series of mergers, moves between cities, and the advent of television, the NFL gradually grew into one of the nation's most successful professional sports, with cities competing for franchises, and networks competing for broadcast rights. Its stars became national celebrities and its championship game became an annual extravaganza. The highly respected sports historian Richard Crepeau will write a history of the NFL from its hardluck origins to its current glory. He will deal not only with the great teams, great games, and great rivalries, but also with the place of NFL within American culture"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000707714 588__ $$aDescription based on print verison record. 000707714 61020 $$aNational Football League$$xHistory. 000707714 650_0 $$aFootball$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000707714 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aCrepeau, Richard C., 1941-$$tNFL football.$$dUrbana : University of Illinois Press, [2014]$$z9780252032899$$z9780252080203$$w(DLC) 2014007470$$w(OCoLC)877367732 000707714 830_0 $$aSport and society. 000707714 8520_ $$bacq 000707714 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000707714 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3414356$$zOnline Access 000707714 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:707714$$pGLOBAL_SET 000707714 980__ $$aEBOOK 000707714 980__ $$aBIB 000707714 982__ $$aEbook 000707714 983__ $$aOnline
