	The Original World League of American Football
		When the United States Football League announced plans to begin play in the fall in 1986, it was the end of spring football in the United States.
		The spring of 1991 brought a new league to the world, the World League of American Football.
		The WLAF was an NFL backed venture that was created to be a "developmental" league for the NFL as well as help spread football throughout the world.

	World League of American Football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The World League of American Football (WLAF) was founded in 1990 with support from the NFL to play semi-professional American Football in North America, Europe and later maybe Asia.
		The two teams emerging from the World League of American Football semifinal playoffs met at the end of the season in the World Bowl.
		After revamping itself into an exclusively European circuit, the WLAF re-launched in 1995 with the simpler name of World League, consisting of the three existing European teams from the original format as well as three new teams in Amsterdam, Dusseldorf and Edinburgh (who would compete as Scotland).

	NFL Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original WLAF was an American football league partially backed by the National Football League and, like the current NFL Europe, was a spring developmental league.
		However, the National Football League still liked the idea of a spring developmental league, and after revamping itself into an exclusively European circuit, the league re-launched in 1995, consisting of the three existing European teams from the original format as well as three new teams in Amsterdam, Dusseldorf and Edinburgh (who would compete as Scotland).
		With football (soccer) being the traditionally popular sport in Europe and American Football being a relative newcomer, the rules were changed slightly to encourage a greater element of kicking which was intended to make the game more enjoyable for football and rugby fans.

		However, the National Football League still liked the idea of a spring developmental league, and after revamping itself into an exclusively European circuit, the '''World League''' was formed.
		World League, re-launched in 1995, consisted of the 3 existing European teams from the original format as well as 3 new teams.
		While the sport of American football is relatively new to Europe, the apparent popularity of the league and the sport in Germany is, at this point, undeniable.

	American Football League @ BaseballLiving.com
		The American Football League (AFL) was a professional league of American football that operated from 1960 to 1969.
		Of all the leagues that have attempted to challenge the dominance of the National Football League, the AFL was the only one to have all its teams integrated into the fabric of the NFL.
		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).

		The American Football League, or AFL, was the brainchild of founder Lamar Hunt.
		The AFL benefited from having been formed just at a time when professional football was beginning to catch up with (and eventually, in the 1960s, overtake) baseball as the most popular spectator team sport in the United States.
		In 1966, the two leagues paved the way for a merger by agreeing to operate a common draft, and to carry out a championship game between the two league champions.

	A world of difference; new football league earns fans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Dubbed the World League of American Football, (WLAF), football can be played and watched all year round on two different continents.
		However, the WLAF allows the scoring team to go about the point after attempt in the usual manner, or if they are so inclined, may get two points by rushing the ball or completing a pass into the endzone.
		The WLAF looks as if it will catch on, bringing enjoyment into the homes of many; yet making football widows out of a few thousand housewives whose husbands sit glued to the tube rooting for the Yanks to drive the Brits back to Wembley.

		Other leagues appear from time to time, such as the World Football League, the United States Football League and the XfL.
		Although a football play never begins in an end zone, it is possible for a play to take place there after the ball is snapped.

		That's the real beauty of the World League, where a nobody such as Barcelona's Kitna can become a somebody, and just maybe a real live body to be counted on when it comes time to play in the big leagues.
		Each NFL team contributes $300,000 to $400,000 to the World League, and though at first glance it appears to be the ideal training ground, some teams think players develop more quickly in team-sponsored offseason conditioning camps.
		As Beake says, the World League is a league of opportunity, a second chance for players who are drafted, released in training camp and still looking to prove themselves.
