Foundations in Flux: The 1921 APFA Season and the Birth of the NFL

A deep dive into the 1921 APFA season—the Akron reorganization with Joe Carr, the surge of 21 teams, the fragile finances and evolving rules that shaped pro football. We explore Curly Lambeau’s suspension, Fritz Pollard’s trailblazing role, and the Staley Swindle that decided a championship by a technicality. It’s the turbulent birth of the NFL and a window into how courage, money, and chaos forged the league we know today.
