	Remember the AFL
		The American Football League was the only league in North American pro sports ever to have merged with another major league and have all its teams continue to exist.
		The American Football League took advantage of the burgeoning popularity of football by locating teams in major cities that lacked NFL franchises, and by using the growing power of televised football games (bolstered with the help of major network contracts, first with ABC and later with NBC).
		Further, the league championships were evenly divided: five were won by Western Division teams, five by the Eastern Division; and of the original eight teams, all but two (Denver and Boston) won at least one AFL title, and only one did not make the playoffs at some time during the league's ten-year existence.

		The American Football League is the only league in North American pro sports ever to have merged with another and have all its teams continue to exist, unlike the AAFC (or in a different sport and later era, the World Hockey Association merger with the National Hockey League).
		In an early attempt by the established NFL to disrupt the new league, Winter and the Minnesota group were lured away from the so-called "Foolish Club" and promised a franchise in the older league.
		Further, the league championships were evenly divided: five were won by Western Division teams, five by the Eastern Division; and of the original eight teams, all but two won at least one AFL title, and only one did not make the playoffs at some time during the league's ten-year existence.

		The WAFL is a merger of many teams, leagues, and administrators with years of experience in women's tackle football, flag football, pro sports, semi-pro football, college, and high school athletics.
		The comment critique of football femmes on the field has been that they are depriving some earnest young male the opportunity for a shot at the NFL, and that there is no professional track for women.
		Until the league spends more on improving its image, many sponsors and naysaying, predominantly male, media members in WAFL markets may still not consider the league "prime time" for many years to come.
