"The League: How Five Rivals Created the NFL and Launched a Sports Empire" is a book written by John Feinstein that chronicles the early history of the National Football League (NFL). The NFL was founded in 1920 by five rival football leagues: the American Professional Football Association, the Ohio League, the New York Pro Football League, the Illinois League, and the Missouri Valley League.
The book explores the evolution of these rival leagues and how they eventually came together to form the NFL. It discusses the key figures who played a role in the formation of the league, including NFL Commissioner Bert Bell and team owners such as George Halas and Tim Mara. The book also covers the early struggles and challenges faced by the NFL as it established itself as a major sports league, and how it eventually became the dominant professional football league in the United States.
