The Cleveland Rams and the soon to be Cleveland Browns in the AAFC. Dan Reeves had bought the Rams in 1941, even before any of this was on the table. He saw this opportunity to thought that the NFL should be on the West Coast. The new Browns for their very first home game draw 60,000 fans. That's the same or more than the Rams did for the entire season the year before.

The NFL — it’s almost synonymous with America today. And its history is a fascinating lens to explore the nation’s development over the last 100 years, from WWII to TV and suburbs to the Internet and social media. What began as a quasi-illicit league in small midwestern towns is now the single largest media property in the world today by revenue. And whether you watch football or not, this is one incredible business story. Acquired is ready for some football — let’s kick this Season off right!
