	WORLD FOOTBALL LEAGUE - QUICK HISTORY
		When the National Football League and the American Football League officially became a single entity on January 1, 1970, the NFL effectively eliminated its only outside competition.
		Radical rule changes adopted by the WFL included 7 points for a touchdown followed by a run or pass option for an "action point," kickoffs from the 30-yard line, overtime to decide ties, and moving the goalposts back to the rear of the endzone.
		Even so, the lessons of the WFL were not learned by all and seven short years later a new league was born and in the end would suffer the same sad fate as the World Football League.

		The League has lost its main sponsor, Siemens, after a disastrous first season which virtually disintegrated amidst refereeing controversies, brawls on the pitch, and rumours of match-fixing and corruption.
		And while the new league, began in 2004, was meant to usher in a new period of professionalism, it ended with one side, Beijing Hyundai, walking off the pitch halfway through a game.
		In turn, the "football revolution" is of growing concern to authorities, in particular as some clubs have been calling for an independent League Committee - instead of one organisation controlled by the Sports Ministry.

		Davidson's league garnered major news when the Toronto Northmen, led by John F. Bassett, signed three Miami Dolphins players: running back Larry Csonka, fullback Jim Kiick, and wide receiver Paul Warfield to what was then the richest 3-player deal in sports, an astounding US$3.5 million to start in 1975.
		Though many predicted the WFL was dead, the league returned for the 1975 season, with a new leader, president Chris Hemmeter, former co-owner of the 1974 Hawaiians franchise, and some new owners with new names.
		There is also a Major League Soccer team called the Chicago Fire, and there are/were also NBA teams called the Memphis Grizzlies and Charlotte Hornets (1988-2002) (although the nickname "Hornets" for Charlotte teams in various sports long-precedes the WFL entry, and the "Grizzlies" name was selected when the franchise was still in Vancouver).
