The Evolution Of Professional American Football

The beginnings of American Football can be traced back to the English sport of rugby, which began in the Rugby Boy’s School in England some time in 1823. It can also be traced back to soccer, which is also an English game that was played as early as the 1820s. The rules of American Football were instituted by Walter Camp, a coach and athletic director from Yale but were a collaborative effort from different American universities. In a sense, Pro American Football was developed from competitions among colleges, which at that time, had very fierce team rivalries when it came to sports. The rivalries soon picked up a national audience and its immense popularity resulted to the establishment of a professional football association.

The APFA handed out franchises around the United States with little discretion and regard for professional capabilities of players and teams. During its operation from 1920 to 1922, it consisted of 23 teams. Two years after the APFA was established it was reorganized and renamed as the National Football League (NFL). Unlike the APFA, the NFL was limited to only ten teams.
