The first American Football League (AFL), sometimes called AFL I, AFLG, or the Grange League, was a professional American football league that operated in 1926. It was the first major competitor to the National Football League (NFL). Founded by Charles "C.C." Pyle, (1882–1939), and General Charles X. Zimmerman, (1865–1926), as vice president and starring Hall of Fame halfback Harold Edward "Red" Grange, (1903–1991), the short-lived league with nine teams competed against the more established – then six-year-old – NFL, both for players and for fans. While Pyle's and Grange's New York Yankees team and the already established Philadelphia Quakers became reliable draws, the lack of star power and the uncertain financial conditions of the other seven teams led to the league's dissolution after

  • La primera American Football League, en ocasiones llamada AFL I, AFLG,​ o la Grange League, fue una liga profesional de fútbol americano que operó solo en 1926. Es considerada como la primera liga que dio una verdadera competencia de mercado a la National Football League. Fue fundada por y el halfback del Salón de la Fama Red Grange. El poco tiempo que operó de manera comercial tuvo a solo 9 equipos, en contra de la recientemente formada y más asentada NFL, e intento ganarle tanto aficionados como jugadores. Mientras que el mejor equipo de todos fue el de los New York Yankees de Pyle y Grange, fue evidente la falta de jugadores de renombre y las condiciones financieras de los demás equipos, lo que llevó a la disolución de la liga después de solo un año.​ (es)
