		Ah, yes, the WFL, another (and the last) in the long line of Gary Davidson/Dennis Murphy second league creations (see WHA and ABA) for other examples.
		There was a player's strike over free agency in 1974 (the WFL lasted from 1974-75), which began and ended during training camp/preseason.
		It also spawned a number of rule changes that the NFL soon copied (the goal posts were moved back to the end line from the goal line), the rules with regards to downing punts were changed, and it undoubtedly spurred the stodgy old NFL to extend its regular season to 16 games in 1976.
