The National Football League has long reigned as America's favourite professional sports league. In its early days, however, it was anything but a dominant sports industry. Its rise began after the war, and the 1950s was a pivotal decade for the league. This title tells the economic story of how the NFL transformed from having a modest following in the Northeast to surpassing baseball as the US's most popular sport.
