Is there anything more American than enjoying a championship edition of the new national pastime while likenesses of the game’s most revered legends of the game linger right next door?
The powers-that-be at the United States Football League certainly couldn’t find any qualifiers.
The rebooted spring football league concluded its first season on Sunday in Canton, OH, with the Birmingham Stallions topping the Philadelphia Stars by a 33-30 final at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Unlike their recent predecessors from the Alliance of American Football and the (original) XFL, the league is expected to return for a second season after the first was played entirely in the stadiums of Birmingham.
