    Cliff Battles

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 3 (1996) CLIFF BATTLES Courtesy of the Pro Football Hall of Fame When a modern-day professional athlete threatens to retire "because I can make more money doing something else," the natural tendency is to question the validity of the claim. But there is at least one member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame who did just that. He quit at the absolute peak of his career and he did make more money "on the outside" -- 33 percent more, to be exact. That is the incredible story of Cliff Battles, one of the most brilliant running backs pro football has known. After only six years in the National Football League, 28 years old and in perfect condition and a member of a championship team, Battles quit the Washington Redskins when owner George Preston Marshall refused to raise his salary above $3,000. So Battles became an assistant coach at Columbia University, where he was paid $4,000. In his brief time in the pros, Battles made an indelible impression. He gained 3,622 yards rushing in six years and, up to 1938, no one had ever approached that career total. He had led the league in rushing twice and had been a member of the official all-league team three times, including his last two seasons. In 1937, the Redskins' first year in Washington, Battles had teamed with rookie Sammy Baugh to give the Redskins not only a league title, but one of the most explosive running-passing threats in history. This rare combination should have meant misery for other NFL teams for years to come.

Sure, the old championship polls were bogus -- but the current system is just as bogus, and it doesn't even give fans anything to argue about. By: Allen Barra Nov. 29, 2001 | Everyone, I guess, assumes that the way things were when they were growing up is the norm, the way things ought to be. I'm that way, too, at least about college football. To many of my friends in the Northeast, college football means the Yale-Harvard game or Princeton–Cornell, or the game they turn on before dinner is ready on Thanksgiving. For people in the West, it's Cal-Stanford or USC-UCLA, or again, whatever precedes the turkey. If they watch the college championship on or near Jan. 2, it isn't because they have followed the teams all season or even know who is playing; they simply regard it as the less professional version of the Super Bowl. In the world they grew up in, college football is a mere appendage to the pro game, one that has a bit of snob appeal because it's played on college campuses (though this has lessened over the last couple of decades as some kind of college education has become accessible to nearly everyone).

    Beyond the Game

    BEYOND THE GAME THE 2015 NFL SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY REPORT MESSAGE FROM NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL The 2015 season was an exciting one for the National Football League. All year we celebrated Super Bowl 50, reflecting on the history and future of NFL football. Among the most gratifying strides we took was to deepen our commitment to the NFL’s platform as a force for positive change. Whether nationally, locally or individually through the volunteerism and philanthropy of owners, players, coaches and club personnel, there is a powerful NFL- wide commitment to giving back. During the season, hundreds of players spend their day off working in communities. It is a proud tradition of volunteering at local schools, shelters and hospitals. We honor the efforts of these players, including our Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award that went to Anquan Boldin of the San Francisco 49ers for his work to expand educational opportunities for underserved children. As a league, we focused our work on advancing progress in several key areas. We continue to enhance our programs to support the health and safety of athletes of all ages and communities through the NFL PLAY 60 campaign, Heads Up Football and grants to support youth and high school football programs. The NFL Foundation, a nonprofit organization representing the 32 NFL clubs, remains a critical partner in these efforts and others. This year, the foundation expanded its work with a commitment to build character education programs for boys and girls, athletes and non-athletes alike. We also embrace our leadership role in addressing social issues, including domestic violence and sexual assault.

    c01.qxd 6/28/06 9:24 AM Page 5 1 Finding a Home eorge Preston Marshall thought he was in on the ground floor of Gthe next great sports craze of the Roaring Twenties when he pur- chased a professional franchise in a new sports league called the American Basketball League (ABL). He was right, in one sense: basketball would someday capture the attention of the American sports public. But Marshall was ahead of his time, and he didn’t have much patience to wait decades, let alone years, to reap the rewards of his sports venture. He was already a successful Washington businessman, inheriting the Palace Laundry from his father and building it into a profitable business. But Marshall liked action and being in the spotlight. He was a showman by nature, and he wanted to expand into something that gave him a greater rush than cleaning clothes. He hoped the ABL would do that, but in the era of Babe Ruth, Bobby Jones, and Jack Dempsey, thereCOPYRIGHTED was no such icon for roundball. MATERIAL Marshall’s basketball venture was not in vain, however. He made some important contacts with men of that era who had similar dreams. One man in particular who had a clearer vision of the future of Amer- ican sports was George “Papa Bear” Halas. And Halas had a standard bearer to compete with the likes of a Ruth, Jones, and Dempsey: Red Grange, who would help launch the National Football League in the 1920s. 5 c01.qxd 6/28/06 9:24 AM Page 6 6 HAIL VICTORY Halas, a former standout end and baseball player (he played with the New York Yankees in 1919), was hired in 1920 by the Staley Starch Company of Decatur, Illinois, to organize a company football team.
