There’s a high bar that has to be cleared for me to link to something on ESPN.
The story of the [World Football League] is one that includes a mortally wounded NFL dynasty, Elvis Presley, Arnold Palmer, the guy who played Sloth in “The Goonies,” an enraged Canadian Parliament, sheriff raids on locker rooms, and a member of the witness protection program trying to buy a team. It’s a story of a remarkable dumpster fire that damn near kneecapped the NFL.
Bonus: the Canadian Football Act (which isn’t really an act, as it has never been signed into law).
