The Oorang Indians (/ˈuːræŋ/) were a traveling team in the National Football League from LaRue, Ohio (near Marion). The franchise was a novelty team put together by Walter Lingo to market his Oorang dog kennels. All of the Indians players were Native American, with Jim Thorpe serving as its leading player and coach. The team played in the National Football League in 1922 and 1923. Of the 20 games they played over two seasons, only one was played at "home" in nearby Marion. With a population well under a thousand people, LaRue remains the smallest town ever to have been the home of an NFL franchise, or probably any professional team in any league in the United States.

  • Die Oorang Indians waren ein American-Football-Team in der National Football League (NFL) der Vereinigten Staaten, die nur zwei Jahre (1922/1923) am Spielbetrieb teilnahmen. Die Indians waren offiziell in , Ohio in der Nähe von Marion, angesiedelt. Ihr einziges Heimspiel, welches am 8. Oktober 1922 mit 20:6 gegen die Columbus Panhandles gewonnen werden konnte, fand jedoch in Marion statt. La Rue, das heute 775 Einwohner hat, war der kleinste Ort, der je ein NFL-Team beherbergte. Das Team zeichnete sich auch dadurch aus, dass alle Spieler Indianer waren unter der Führung des Spielertrainers Jim Thorpe. Der Name des Teams stammt von den Oorang-Hundezucht, dessen Besitzer Walter Lingo das Team gründete. Von den 20 Spielen, die die Oorang Indians in ihrer Existenz spielten, war nur eines ein Heimspiel. (de)

La squadra fu creata da Walter Lingo per promuovere i suoi allevamenti di cani di razza Oorang. Tutti i giocatori degli Indians erano nativi americani, con Jim Thorpe come loro giocatore principale e allenatore. La squadra giocò nella National Football League nel 1922 e nel 1923. Delle 20 gare disputate in quelle due stagioni, solo una fu giocata in "casa", nei pressi di Marion. Con una popolazione di meno di un migliaio di persone, LaRue rimane la più piccola città ad aver avuto una franchigia NFL e probabilmente di tutti gli sport professionistici americani. (it)

  • "White people had this misconception about Indians. They thought they were all wild men, even though almost all of us had been to college and were generally more civilized than they were. Well, it was a dandy excuse to raise hell and get away with it when the mood struck us. Since we were Indians we could get away with things the whites couldn't. Don't think we didn't take advantage of it." (en)
