The NFL Looked Down Its' Nose At The AFL-Like They Should Talk?

The A F L which celebrated it's 50th Anniversary, was ridiculed by the NFL in the beginning. They should talk:

The most recent A F L never had a franchise fold up, though with the 1962 NY Titans at The Polo Grounds, there was a close call, as the Titans had a total Home Attendance of 36,000+ for 7 Home Games & needed League Intervention, before Sonny Werblin & Company came to the Rescue;

But the National Football League had franchises in such places as Tonowanda, NY, Rochester, NY, Portsmouth, OH, Racine, WI, Orange, NJ, Newark, NJ & the Stapleton Area of Staten Island, so it gives one an idea that one could pay a Franchise Fee of $100 & set up a team in what amounts to playing in a High School Field or a Sandlot. One could've set up a franchise at Sunrise Highway & 80th Street on the Lindenwood-Howard Beach Border, in the sandlot field there & charged Admission to watch some team that was hideous. What was the NFL thinking at that time? It sure wasn't thinking about a Radio Deal. BTW, those Franchises ceased to exist;

At least the 4th A F L, as there were 3 others, made it into The NFL with all of its' Original Franchises plus their two expansion teams, giving us all the Modern NFL, which takes its' cue from the A F L;
