  • The 1925 National Football League (NFL) Championship, claimed by the Chicago Cardinals, has long been the subject of controversy, centering on the suspension of the Pottsville Maroons by NFL commissioner Joseph Carr, which prevented them from taking the title. The Maroons were one of the dominant teams of the 1925 season, and after defeating the Chicago Cardinals 21–7 on December 6, they came away with the best record in the league. However, Carr suspended and removed the team from the NFL after they played an unauthorized exhibition game in Philadelphia, on the grounds that they had violated the territorial rights of the Frankford Yellow Jackets. Chicago played and won two more games against weak NFL opponents, but were sanctioned because Cardinals player Art Folz hired four Chicago high school football players to play for the Milwaukee Badgers under assumed names to ensure a Cardinals victory. Pottsville supporters argue that the suspension was illegitimate because the NFL did not grant exclusive territory rights at the time, and that in any event, they had oral league approval to play the game in Philadelphia. Further, they argue that the Maroons, who were reinstated the next year, would have had the best record had they not been suspended. Others claim that Chicago was the legitimate champion based on the rules of the time. In 1963, the NFL investigated and rejected Pottsville's case, refusing to reopen the case in 2003. Both the NFL and the Pro Football Hall of Fame continue to list the Cardinals as the 1925 NFL champions. (en)
  • En el fútbol americano, existe una considerable controversia sobre si a los Pottsville Maroons se les debería haber otorgado el Campeonato de 1925 de la National Football League en lugar de los Chicago Cardinals. Oficialmente, la liga muestra a los Cardinals como los campeones porque terminaron con la mejor marca de la temporada de 1925. Sin embargo, muchos aficionados afirman que los Maroons fueron los campeones legítimos: Pottsville habría tenido la mejor marca si no fuera por una disputado y polémico fallo hecho por el entonces presidente de la liga Joseph Carr para suspender al club después de haber jugado un partido de exhibición en contra un equipo fuera de la NFL en Filadelfia.
