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).
Many players not drafted or signed out of college by the NFL in the late nineteen-fifties went North to try their luck with the CFL, and later returned to the states to play in the American Football League.
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).
