@44032 its confusing because we love it today, but it couldve been made by racist people I dunno.
-
@lordvoldemort578 No idea. I haven't heard of any polls being taken or interviews, protests, etc. I assume their views cut across the spectrum.
-
@44032 were most football players racist bac then?
-
@lordvoldemort578 Yes, really

@44032 REALLY?

@lordvoldemort578 Ironic that Marhsall owned a team he called the "Redskins" but wouldn't allow blacks on the team. Also that they are in this film called "the most colorful team in pro football". Both the Braves and Redskins started out in Boston and were originally named for the Boston Tea Party. The Cleveland Indians are named for Lou Soxalexis, the first native American major leaguer

At 2:45, why are they playing Notre Dame's fight song? Baugh went to TCU. I guess its cause Notre Dame has the coolest fight song ever.

All over this film you hear the name of one of football's forgotten greats ,Wilbur Moore.
This guy did everything for the Redskins,ran,caught,returns,in
tercepted,etc. But like so many great players from this time he's hardly a footnote today. Sadly he was shot dead by his wife in 1965,but the fact remains he was one great player in his time. -
@Grealeight tell that to Oklahoma.

You never see the Statue of Liberty play anymore.

This footage blew my mind as well. Now, why can't the NFL Network highlight historical footage like this? Oh, that's right, can't sell T-shirts from this. My bad. BTW, Baugh had the single greatest season of any player in NFL history.
