Articles by the PFRA wax eloquent about various NFL players and officials from every era, while searches for such AFL stars as George Blanda, Abner Haynes, Johnny Robinson, Lionel Taylor, Don Maynard, Joe Namath and so on, invariably turn up with no articles. Lamar Hunt, Sid Gillman, Al Davis, Hank Stram and other AFL executives and coaches who changed the face of the game, in a league that became the genesis of modern professional football, are similarly ignored.
When NFL topics are addressed, rose-colored glasses are the order of the day: for example; George Preston Marshall banned black players from his Redskins team for thirty years (until forced to integrate by the Kennedy administration), and he influenced the other NFL owners to exclude blacks, from 1934 through 1945. In an article on Marshall, the PFRA praises his "contributions" to football, but makes no mention of his widely-known racial policies.
