AFL v. NFL

[GibbsGibberstein]

Ok you morons AFL is the American Football league they were called AFL before the Australian one which was VFL until 1990. You don't need to argue if Aussie football is better because this has nothing to do with it. Stupid Drongos. I don't see NFL fans on AUssie rules videos calling our sport gay because they have brains. Don't like American Football? Then Get the fuck away from this video.

[hoppy896]

@GibbsGibberstein the title of the video is incredibly missleading NFL vs AFL so you can see why Aussie rules fans are here.. and i do agree with them Aussie rules footy makes NFL players look like pussies, deal with it

[GibbsGibberstein]

@hoppy896 yes i can see why some are mislead.They come here see that it's not about AFL, leave. But no they want to bitch and complain about how much better Aussie Rules is, i love American football. If you don't like it do'nt bitch and moan just fuck off and suck a dick. We say the Americans are ignorant but so are the fucking Ausralians they no nothing about anything.

[GibbsGibberstein]

AFL the AMERICAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE the one that merged with the NFL. But i can see how one would be confuses. (I am Australian myself and was watching a video about AFL and thought i would see aussie rules as well) Personally i like American Football. Wtaching Broncos v.s Patriots right now

[hoeyisgod]

No Aussie Rules - BOOOOOOOOOOOO

[lifesaach]

[Carnage2K4]

[Carnage2K4]

@A7XAwesomeness

[aussieboy693]

[k13ren]

[0SubscriberKing]

NFL is fucking shit as, the only reason y it's famous is cause it's played in America, AFL (AUSSIE RULES) absolutely shits on NFL

[91gt306]

@0SubscriberKing Lol just in your head.

[GibbsGibberstein]

@0SubscriberKing the only reason Aussie football is poular is because it's playe din Australia. you make a terrible point. Personally i like American Football and this video ahs nothing to do with Australian Football so fuck off.

[lachiemca]

[AFLGreatestSport]

@dontbeasofthunt Your page is an embarrassment to Australia.

[PascalTheAwesome]

[Spore0001]

@HornseDizzleWWE Same

[Freefilmproduction]

@HornseDizzleWWE damn right it is AFLs been around for nearly 200 years

[6JCD]

@Freefilmproduction That sport's league wasn't called "AFL" until 1990. The AFL (American Football League) existed from 1960 to 1970. Also the other AFL(Arena Football League) was established in 1987.

[Love4SK]

ill take the CFL

[lsufootball42]

What a lot of people don't know about Super Bowl 1 is that the Chiefs returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, but had to re-kick because the TV cameras weren't turned on. On the second time, they fumbled beside the endzone, and the Packers went in to score on the next play. I think that was a huge momentum shift.

[lockywazere2011]

Great comeback

[FeebleNosemanny]

what was the #1 feud?

[lockywazere2011]

Both games are shit rugby league is way better than both.

[jj45455]

[Sturt16]

[doopenhagen]

When i saw "AFL" I was under the assumption that it was the proper AFL, the Australian Football League, not some poor mans NFL. Bah!

[football2011eire]

gaelic football is the best from ireland bunch of fags wearing paddings

[lachynf12]

well AFL is fuckn shit, NFL is pretty good.. but rugby is the best!!

[bones111987]

[Dimitri0809]

@bones111987

No way!

[prodiggy13]

@bones111987

LOL australian footbal??

hahaha

[nabilion]

@prodiggy13 whats so funny?

[jamabar]

this is about the american football league and the national football league. australian football and american football are 2 different sports and should not be compared to each other or disrespected by anyone.

[gamelvr1]

@jamabar Well said.

[triggsyshredd]

Give em some motor cross boots and these clowns are ready for the track!

[Blazivire6]

Aussie rules owns !!

But any form of " football " owns

Aussie rules iz Best though

[marquettefootball]

@Blazivire6 People like what they grew up with and are most familiar with. Even as an NFL fan first, I can totally respect that. You got a great game "down" there.

[Blazivire6]

@marquettefootball true. and well said

FOOTY

[rigid]

You people arguing over football codes are all morons.

This is the truth:

American football is awesome.

Aussie Rules is awesome.

Rugby League & Union are awesome.

FOOTY!!!

[b0m83d]

@rigid

Gridiron is shit.

GAYFL is shit.

Yawnion is boring.

RL is awesome.

You = Fail.

[marquettefootball]

@b0m83d After you get hit 60 times per game by a 300 pound guy who uses all his force each time in an effort to send you through the earth's magma from America to Australia, then make such a comment. I won't rip any sort of rugby, AFL or other football. All are fun to watch, and I've seen them all. (Heck, I had a cousin try out for the national sevens rugby team.) Put on the pads and scrimmage against an NFL team. Then we'll talk.

[b0m83d]

NRL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GAYFL

[tylerhisao]

@b0m83d LOL Cant stop laughing.

[TheNikeairforce1s]

isnt the afl inthe nfl i didnt know they were different leagues

[Dietpepsivanilla]

AFL was the best.  Period.

[NFLization]

Wait so that's how they decided which league will remain and which will join that league?

[aharoldcampbell]

@NFLization When the National Football League and American Football League merged, it was agreed that the name of the league would be the NFL, made up of the National Football Conference and American Football Conference. To give each conference the same number of teams, Baltimore, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh were moved from the NFC to the AFC. (There were some other agreements as part of the merger, too.)

[NFLization]

@aharoldcampbell well they had to name it NFL because the NFL had more money than the AFL.

[TheRoos29]

Afl is the best game in the world ( Australian football league )

[GanEdenAustralia]

NRL go!

[GratzDing45]

Lawn Bowls FTW!

[riotusa1]

What this video failed to mention is that the feud really started to escalate when Al Davis took over as commisioner and really had it in for Rozelle. He wanted the merger so that he could take over as commisioner of the unified league(NFL) over Rozelle. Rozelle retained control after the merger and there was bad blood between the two ever since.

[jfiles000000]

The AFL had trouble for 15 years winning the Super Bowl in the 1980's and 90's in blow out contests like 55-10 and the Bills losing 4 straight.The best NFC team was alot better than the best Afc team.

[gamelvr1]

@jfiles000000 While that is true, other then that period of time, the afc has won the majority of the games outside of those 13 years (the actual streak).

[kaka702]

NFL ruled n always will,NFL will buy the UFL and tere gonna have a minor league aint that the shit lol hehe

[nitroslipperz]

The upstart American Football League drop kicked the NFL into the future with Innovations in plays, tactics, television agreements that set the stage for the modern game.

In fact, today original AFL teams such as The Patriots, Chargers, Broncos and the Jets are some of the NFLs current showcase teams.

In 2009, the 50th anniversary of the AFL's founding, original AFL teams wore retro uniforms, including the Broncos ugly striped socks (LOL)!

A big thanks to founder Lamar Hunt!!!

[smitha4]

@nitroslipperz sure they were great innovations and Lamar Hunt provided a great business model... but "drop kicked the NFL into the future"... that's silly word choice.

[alanpeel1981]

@smitha4 The moment at which the NFL came to the realization that the AFL was here to say was whey they asked H.L. Hunt, Lamar's dad, after Lamar lost $1 million the first year of the Dallas Texans in 1960. H.L. said that Lamar could go on for another 150 years.

[smitha4]

@alanpeel1981 Yeah, The Hunt family fortune wasn't going anywhere, and HL had full confidence his son would be successful. It is interesting to note though, that the NFL refused for several years to put a team in Dallas and they've since become one of the more storied (obviously not on par with that of Green Bay or Chicago) franchises in the league. Gotta wonder if the league office ever took a step back and wondered how much money they would've lost if not for Lamar forcing their hand.

[alanpeel1981]

@smitha4 The reality is that the AFL won this war.

[WC3POchannel10A]

@smitha4 drop kicked sounds pretty appropriate to me.

[carter20081985]

Fuck the fresh fish afc bitches. NFC will always have the best team with the most history

[andrewr62]

@nitroslipperz What innovations are you talking about? The modern spread offense, combination zone coverages, the west coast offense all of have origins in the original NFL. Seriously what tactics are you talking about? The NFL was not contrary to popular belief 3 downs in a cloud of dust. Coaches like Sid Gillman

employed the modern passing attack in the NFL before the AFL even existed. Shotgun? 49ers

of the 1950's,

[WaterfordTV]

Will all you Aussies get off here! This is the American Football League not the Australian Football League!

[11rp22]

no one needs to here about your personal shit dude I mean honestly do you turn into a whiny ass bitch everytime you encounter a smart ass

and btw who said I was fucking your mum douche........my god you have a dirty little mind dont you

compared to EVERY other code gAyFL still sucks monkey dick douche, and you know this

[TheMrfootball1000]

AFL RULES

[jamabar]

it has nothin 2 do with aussie rules and please u dumb rugby throwball wanker fucks if u think aussie rules is shit look at the numbers why are there more supporters of afl then ? grow a brain rugby cocksuckers

[Aussiemetallica]

i tell ya what once afl makes it to the olympics which its applyng to it will dominate. even if it doesn't why don't australia and america the 2 best countries team up and destroy soccer

[11rp22]

gAyFL's will never go to the olympics you moron........are you on crack?

It already has rugby 7's wtf do you honestly think people want to see a bunch of pasty ass motherfuckers struggling to kick a freaking ball through not 1 but 3 sets of goal posts.

That by the way is probably the most generous summary anyone could give the game, not to mention no one needs to see Australians attempt to be coordinated.

Tell me Aussiemetalfucker what exactly is the purpose of a forward in gAyFL?

[muffinsausage]

there is no possible way American Football compares to Australian Football.

Aussie don't wear protection, and the sport uses a larger variety of skills and extreme fitness. so wtf do NFL players do? they try and plot a perfect game plan for 10 mins then finally get about 10 seconds of "action" where it's just a bunch of guys bumping each other and 1 guy throwing a ball. NFL players dont compare to Aussie Rules players.

[cheese123321123321]

australian football league kicks pussy nfl in the ass. i know this video doesnt involve australian football league, just wanted to let you know. :)

[11rp22]

you dumb shit this isn't about australian football............hahahaha what a dick

[cheese123321123321]

OI fuck face. notice the part where it sais I KNOW THIS VIDEO DOESNT INVOLVE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE. yer didnt see that u fucking try hard. oh and il say again.

get a fucking dick, DONT WEAR PADS LISTEN TO AUSSIEMETALLICA.

[11rp22]

fuck off you red neck little trick..........

go eat a dingo or something you sound hungry..........

[LluviasDeBendicion1]

The AFL (AMERICAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE!!!!!!!!!!! NOT AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE) and the NFL were and still are the best 2 best football products in the world today (In which I mean the NFL: AFC/NFC)

[Gold3nStat3KiD]

1:36....BEAUTIFUL PASS!!

[matt9142]

There talking about Arena Football League is another football league in America

[69shano69]

is this afl australian football league or arena football league

[stylesclash101]

no this is the american football league

[scordo2]

WHAT AFL is Australian Football league

[2008bombers]

im australian and i love NFL and AFL but do you guys know if there is any aussie rules football teams in america because i herd that there was afl footy teams in america.

[smitha4]

Yeah, there are. Actually as one of the minor sports in America, it's one of the more successful. The majority of the teams are centered on the mid atlantic seaboard, (baltimore area), but Aussie Football is pretty good stuff. However, with the preeminence of the NFL and College Football, it's hard to believe it will ever catch on as a major sport in America.

[cards7509]

ah dont try to make those dumbasses feel like there sport deserves respect.

fuck strap up and play with the big boys mother fuckers, no fucking tight short shorts allowed

[triggsyshredd]

@cards7509 No tight shorts allowed, just ballet man tights!

[blaizethefootylegend]

@2008bombers, It's not Aussie rules thier talking about u douche! Its American Football League. The gay sport with padding!

[MIKECNW]

Interesting how Lombardi makes that comment on the AFL and dies the same year when the mergar finally takes place.

[smitha4]

yeah, it's similar to the Jackie Robinson deal just after Kenesaw Mountain Landis died. Granted that was a bit more important, but there's quite a bit of correlation.

[jointswishee]

this is sheit. australian football is better than these yankees (yamum joke ) douche bags.

[cards7509]

afl players jsut grab and pull down. they dont throw there bodies like weapons.

NFL rules

[Aussiemetallica]

yeah? well us aussies don't wear pads all over ourselves and helmet

u musn't have watched much footy from australia cause if u should search afl speckies and u just rethink ur statement

[cards7509]

i dont give a FUCK IF U PLAY WITH NO CLOTHES u fucking jackass. have u seen the hits? they fucking rub up on each other and just try to wrap each other up moving at like what... 5mph?

AMERICAN FOOTBALL players throw there bodies like weapons at full speed.

shit look up the history of american football.

president roosevelt had to step in an cancel college football all together because more than 20players died in a

fucking season.

AFL= american football league

[MrNoahDeer]

you haven't seen much of real footy then, i feel sorry for you

[cheese123321123321]

u champion.

[11rp22]

gAyFL is a bitches sport dude, thats why no one outside of Australia knows what it is, but in saying that I suppose only Australians would fit the criteria..........

I'm guessing you play it????

[cheese123321123321]

if its gay....um why arent u guys not wearing pads, to pussy to get owned. and u racist little fuck. if u want me to get racist i will bring it on fuck face. stop raiding inoccent countrys and focus on the real problems, poverty for example

[11rp22]

ahahaha You're an idiot I dont wear pads cause I dont play american football.....but I can tell you one thing as far as status goes for football codes Aussies fools is at the bottom.

And where exactly are you bringing it spaz.....cyber space bullies are redundant....Are you trying to compensate?

Fuck off clown dont you have skin to peel of your mums back?

[cheese123321123321]

no. im not the cyber bullyer. you srarted this. and im going to finish it. and how the fuck was i supposed to know u didnt play it......think about that one. Aussies fools is at the bottom....gee that isnt racist at all. fuck you american redneck. uve ruined iraq, whos next on your list?

[11rp22]

you idiot aussie fools was in reference to aussie rules football not aussies in general..........and I'm not american you stupid git.

[cheese123321123321]

u have a vag.

[11rp22]

Oh my god how did you find out cheese1233fucker dont worry dude I'll give your mum back to you as soon as I'm finished with her.

fuck you made out like you actually had comebacks, that was piss weak dude...but then of course you are Australian and I suppose we all know wit isn't really within grasp for you people is it.

[Aussiemetallica]

untrue it's going on in ur own country doosh

[cheese123321123321]

[carter20081985]

afc sucks ass, the real nfl is in the nfc

[slydawg221]

then why has the AFC won 9 of the last 12 super bowls?

[carter20081985]

[slydawg221]

so, the AFC sucked for 13 years. they don't anymore.

I still only root for ex-AFL teams in the Super Bowl. Except for the Raiders of course. Growing up a Chiefs fan, rooting for the Raiders is treason. LOL!

[Fingaboard4lyfe]

oh damn i thot this was arena football vs national football

[AltPilot80Jets]

afl was always the better team

[bomberfan94]

Huh? Am I lost? AFL meaning Australian Football League.

Aussie football I was looking for? lol. they didn't look outside the U.S before naming, no country exists outside the USA according to yanks.

[crickit000]

i know. im not shitting you, my grandpa went over to america once and people recognised his accent and asked where he was from. he said australia and the americans asked him "how was the drive?"

and i was looking for aussie rules too.

[939291]

Wow i was looking for aussie rules aswell, weird..

[Sonicfury234]

yeah i was looking for aussie rules also...

[smitha4]

While I'm a fan of Aussie Rules Football, this AFL is in reference to a now defunct American Football league, as it merged with the NFL in the late 60s, culminating in 1970.

[Jikk]

Why the hell would they care about some Australian sport using the same initials? AFL is AMERICAN Football league.

Not what you were looking for, you say? Here's an idea, click that nifty little button with an arrow labled "Back", and stop your bitchin'. Grab some vegemite and hop back into your kangaroo pouch.

[crickit000]

ok, your sport is American Football League and ours is Australian Football League. Both AFL. Just cos yours is afl too doesn't mean we cant call ours afl.

[69shano69]

"Grab some vegemite and hop back into your kangaroo pouch" ok you yanks start a war with another random country invent some more junk food and assasanait another president and eat some burger king

[30Stack]

Remember, the joining of these two leagues culminated in 1970 and that the Steelers, Browns, and Colts agreed (and were financially rewarded by the NFL) to move over to the AFC. Considering the Colts and Steelers have won 8 Super Bowl Trophies combined since the merger...the original AFL teams don't show a lot.

[Jikk]

The reason why they moved to that conference was to even out the teams. There weren't as many AFL teams as there were NFL teams. The original AFL teams since the merger, have won 10 (12 including the Jets/Chiefs) Super Bowls. 2 in the 60's, 3 in the 70's,and 2 in the early 80's before the NFC dominated for 13 years. but by than there was no more AFL/NFL feud going on anymore.

[WC3POchannel10A]

I just a soon the Colts, Steelers and Browns had never joined the AFC. All three clubs have had some great teams though, no doubt about it.

[smiley66goodvibes67]

50th anniversary celebration in 2009: the 8 original AFL teams wearing throwback uniforms in AFL Legacy games between AFL teams only.

[a7b7c78]

Well, what if Lamar Hunt would have been able to buy the majority share of the Chicago Cardinals in 1959 and move them to Dallas? There probably wouldn't have been an AFL. He came up with the idea after Violet Wolfner, the Cardinal owner, told him of these other cities that wanted to buy her team and move them.

[smitha4]

That's very true, but that's not to say another businessman wouldn't come along and try to start another pro football league and that league have been merged. Either way, I think we all win since we still have the NFL and the product they produce today.

[a7b7c78]

Yeah, I agree that the AFL coming along turned out to be the best thing that happened to Pro Football. I just try to point out how things could have been different. As far as another league forming without Hunt's AFL is concerned, it depends on the NFL and it's expansion. If they didn't want to expand, then another businessman might have started another league by the mid-60's.

[KL58383]

The NFL wouldn't be the premier pro-football league it is today if it wasn't for the AFL. Had they not merged, the AFL would be supreme today cos they were much more open than the NFL. 

The AFL was known as the freedom league.......no racial barriers whatsoever. 1st to put player's names on the back of the jersey. Colorful uniforms. Classic shootouts/Wide-open offenses (not to ment. 2 pt. conversion).

Personally, I wish they hadn't merged (even though I was born in '76)

[mynameisbrie]

Had they not merged when they did, it was inevitable they would eventually. Bearing in mind they had better TV contracts at the time and more sponsorship loyalty, it was the better business model provided by Lamar Hunt which catapulted the AFL to the same status as that of the NFL. And besides, a little defense never hurt anyone.

[WC3POchannel10A]

Indeed revenue sharing was key for a successful revenue model.

[smitha4]

absolutely, It may initially hinder the profitability of the larger market teams, but long term league wide growth is good for all markets, and revenue sharing is the best way to do that.

[MIKECNW]

Wonder what it would of been like if the NFL merged with the AFL and it would be The American Football League Today instead of the NFL?

[WC3POchannel10A]

Well, we did merge with the NFL, not into the NFL. And it SHOULD have been called the AFL after the merger!

[threeby8887]

The AFL also was inovative in television. With their first TV deal, with ABC, the AFL introduced sharing of TV revenues among all teams in the league, two years before the NFL began doing so. Also, the AFL was the first league to put players' names on the backs of their jerseys, to help TV viewers identify players, and the AFL was the first to show on-field fights on TV, while the NFL censored their live broadcasts, having their cameras turn elsewhere during altercations.

[cudpus]

it was called VFL !!!!!!!!!!!!

[wildcardalan]

August 23, 1967 - Chiefs beat the Da Bears in Kansas City 66-24.

[6400az]

That 66-24 Chiefs -Bears game was pre- season . The Chiefs also beat the Vikings in a 68' pre-season contest 13-7....maybe they had they're number all along.
