Football Pro Culture

By: Austin Gartin

Beginning

• NFL started out as the APFA or American Professional Football Association

• Started in Ohio

• College football was more popular

• A lot of good college players didn’t go to professional football

Problems

• Many teams left the NFL in first or second year of existence

• Teams picked their own schedule

• Some teams played non-NFL teams

• No motivation because barely any fans and no pay

• Lack of equipment caused many injuries

• Not an organized sport

Changes in Equipment

• 1920s equipment was mostly leather

• Equipment now is more expensive

• Players equipment is sold to fans for money

Changes in cultural influence

• More Fans have come to love pro football

• People that don’t even like sports have and watch favorite football teams

• Players have become role models to kids

• The Super Bowl has made the NFL so popular that Super Bowl XLV has had the record highest TV rating in history

Reflection Page

• The only hardware/software problems I had were my mouse didn’t work one time

• I think technology is greatly changing our society
