[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 268985, member: 1429"] You're right. They weren't the "NFL" championships. But that's semantics in my opinion. They were, by agreement, the ultimate title a professional football team could achieve in that year. My point is the NFL and AFL titles had the same weight, when they were played separatedly. But when both leagues decided to battle both champions, then that game would have the most weight. - There's a similar discussion in soccer. Now that FIFA has endorsed the clubs' world cup, there're people who don't credit the former intercontinental cup with the same weight. However, there weren't a FIFA endorsed competition, and clubs from Asia, North America, Africa and Oceania didn't participate in it. It was, however, the winner from the Libertadores Cup (South America continental title) against the winner from the UEFA Champions League (Europe continental title). It was, in it's time, the world chamionship. Since the FIFA endorsed cup was created, there was never a final other than a South American club vs. an European club. It's pretty simple. Teams from Asia, Oceania, Africa and North America didn't participate before because they're nowhere near the same level as the Europeans and South Americans. Anyway, by comparison, The South American title would be the NFL, and the European would be the AFL, or vice-versa, and the SB would be the Intercontinental Cup. Though teams give great importance to the continental title, it's not in the same realm as the Intercontinental Title. It's not the same as the NFC championship. It has much more value. As probably had the NFL and AFL titles had back then, when there was the SB. But it's not the ultimate title. It's not a "championship" as the 12 are... [/QUOTE]
