Teams play sixteen regular season games The league relies heavily on [[emotional gambling]] and monetary [[gambling]], as well as violence, for its popularity among television viewers. Twelve teams qualify Due to its dependence on the playoffspro-gay media, which culminates in the NFL's championship game, typically promotes the Super Bowl[[homosexual agenda]].
Poor cities are routinely looted by NFL owners under threat of moving the team to another location, which leaves the cities with huge bills to pay on empty stadiums. Minneapolis taxpayers had to pony up $500 million in 2012 to prevent the Vikings from moving to L.A., and $350 million in taxpayer funding was not enough for St. Louis to keep the Rams.

As an NFL game ends and fans begin leaving the stadium, it is best to avoid the nearby roads. One study showed that the ''average'' fan at many NFL games has a blood-alcohol level higher than safe level for driving as recommended by the NTSB.<ref>http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/05/14/national-transportation-safety-board-drunken-driving/2158107/</ref>

== History ==
The origins of the NFL go back to a single game of soccer played between Rutgers and Princeton on November 6, 1869. The game used modified London Football Association rules that began the distinction between (American) soccer and rugby. The NFL was originally formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association but in 1922 it officially adopted the name of the National Football League as it is today. George Halas, of Chicago is credited with being the father of the league and is compared to [[George Washington]] by many enthusiasts of the game. Most of the original teams in 1922 no longer exist, but some like the Giants are still around. In 1960, [[Kansas City]] businessman Lamar Hunt founded the [[American Football League]] (AFL) to be a competitor to the NFL. By 1970, the two leagues merged with most of the original NFL teams becoming the [[National Football Conference]] and the AFL teams plus the Baltimore Colts, Pittsburgh and Cleveland becoming the [[American Football Conference]]. During the 1970s, the league had many electrifying quarterbacks like Johnny Unitas, Roger Staubach and Fran Tarkenton. In the 1980s, one dynasty emerged as predominant- the 49ers led by [[Joe Montana]], although the 1985 Bears went 15-1 and won the Super Bowl with a top 3 all-time defense. Dallas Cowboys, with running back Emmitt Smith, were a dynasty that won 3 Super Bowls in the 1990s. The 2000s had more parity
