The story of the Pottsville Maroons and their 1925 season has several variations. The NFL's
official version says the team had its franchise revoked for violating the league's territorial rights
rules and disobeying the league President's instruction not to play an exhibition game in
Philadelphia. Pottsville supporters claim that the Maroons were the NFL champions in 1925 by
having the best record and defeating other challengers for the title. This group claims the 1925
NFL Championship was stolen from Pottsville. Which version is correct? What does the
evidence tell us, and should history be corrected by recognizing a defunct team, as champion? They have debated the decision for nearly a century.
This book presents the facts about the rise, fall, and redemption of the 1925 Pottsville NFL franchise.
