章節 186: 185 Team Report

In 1966, the American Football League (AFL) officially merged with the National Football League (NFL), and each year, the champions of the respective leagues climbed to the top of Huashan to duel, with the victor becoming the season's overall champion. This was the birth of the Super Bowl.

That year, football officially entered the Super Bowl era.

The Kansas City Chiefs, unquestionably a team with a long-standing football tradition, although not established until 1959—a full half-century behind those traditional powerhouses—were a strong team from the start.

Everything was because of the team's founder, Lamar Hunt.

This businessman not only founded the Kansas City Chiefs but was also one of the founders of the American Football League (AFL). Interestingly, he was inspired by his daughter's super ball toy, hence the championship game between the two leagues became known as the Super Bowl.

Without a doubt, he was a significant figure with a lasting impact on modern football.
