ABOUT FOOTBALL

Since the founding of the National Football League in 1920, the league and its players have answered America's call during times of national crisis and military conflicts.

The following online exhibit contains just a few of the many stories of how the league and its players were affected and how they unselfishly responded.

The Football and America exhibit was created by the Pro Football Hall of Fame in cooperation with the National Football League. Football and America has been on exhibit at the Super Bowl Experience, D-Day Museum in New Orleans, the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, in Los Angeles, and at the Hall of Fame in Canton.
