American Gridiron Football League

The American Gridiron Football League (AGFL) is a localized gridiron football league established in the United Republics. Though the sport remains popular to some degree across college campuses in the United Republics, no formal professional league was ever established during the early 20th century. An attempt in 1923 collapsed due to the perceived disorganized nature of the sport, and subsequent safety concerns preventing any widespread adoption of the sport afterwards or during the early Revolutionary era. The AGFL was established in 1959 with the founding of four original teams; though this number expanded to six in 1961 with the founding of the Buccaneers and Thunderbolts, and then subsequently again with the founding of the Iron and Oilers in 1980, and the Redblacks and Giants in 1989.
