In 1966, then two rival league as the National Football League and American Football League champions from each league known each other in what seemed to play the AFL-NFL World Championship Game coined. The goal of this game was a precursor to a possible merger of the two rival leagues. This merger should take place before opening the 1970 football season.
faced the first AFL-NFL World Championship Game Green Bay Packers in the NFL against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFL. Green Bay won the game 35-10 in front of 61 956 people in the Los Angeles Coliseum, 15 January 1967, as expected. In that time the AFL was an inferior league to the NFL Championship Game viewing and was expected to be dominated by the champions of the NFL, playing in them. 2. AFL-NFL World Championship Game played to 14 January 1968 at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida, before 75.546 fans between the Green Bay Packers in the NFL and the Oakland Raiders in the AFL, was the theory of inferiority That's right.
But in 1969, what happens is the first year turn over of the new "Super Bowl" of the spear, and the AFL would be the respect that he deserves to win, and the legitimacy of a league match against Oh play so dominant in the NFL. This game was led by New York Jets of the AFL, by a bold young quarterback named Joe Namath on the vaunted 16-7 have, and Baltimore Colts perceived very dominant. This was the first time the football loving public heard the term Super Bowl.
The former Kansas City Chiefs owner, Lamar Hunt was the inventor of the name Super Bowl. Lamar was a visionary in the NFL in many ways, but the term Super Bowl was probably not something he expected to go down in history. Although it is said that he did not believe that the AFL-NFL World Championship Game was a pretty catchy title for this clash of the titans of the meeting between the two leagues.
I do not think anyone really knows except Lamar, what exactly happened to say, but I think it was a little cooperation from two of the most famous football stadiums, Orange Bowl and Rose Bowl. Among them is the way to 13 Super Bowls in recent years. But the story of a day, while Lamar watched a child playing with a toy called the Super Ball During the term Super Bowl was born. I always say that he might consider a new name in this simple incident, and the ball itself was only a catalyst for inspiration.
Lamar Hunt was the original owner of the Dallas Texas AFL team before moving to Kansas City, where it moves the Chiefs. He and the Cowboys' general manager, Tex Schramm, the two men with the AFL-NFL merger, in turn, credited to a demand created by a championship game. Therefore, it is only an accessory to them is to create a Lamar Hunt in the name Super Bowl.
Well, my friends, is history and so is the rest of this story as two separate leagues have completed their merger in 1970, and now we play our 43: e consecutive Super Bowl. be Yes, it's Super Bowl played on 45 February 2011, but not forgotten, have the first two games of the tournament not to take the coveted title in the Super Bowl I and II of the Super Bowl. World Games is the AFL-NFL Championship.
We must all make a toast to Pete Rozzelle, Tex Schramm, and especially Lamar Hunt, on Sunday, February celebrating the fact that instead of participating in and start an AFL-NFL World Championship party, but enjoyed "The Super Bowl Party .
