The United States Football League (USFL) begins Season 1

© Sportreport

In the early 1980s, the National Football League (NFL) faced serious competition from the United States Football League (USFL). Started on March 6, 1983 the league into its first season. Time to look back, time for sports report history!

At the end of the season, the Michigan Panthers were the inaugural champions. In the final, the Philadelphia Stars were close at 24:22.

A side detail: Sporty, but there was no lack of “star power” on the part of the team owners either. The future US President Donald Trump was the owner of the New Jersey Generals. His legal battle with the NFL also caused the league’s demise.
