Process Paper
For the history fair, we were told that we had to do pick a topic related to reform, revolution or reaction. So my partner and I, both sports fanatics, decided we would do the AFL-NFL merger, which is extremely intriguing and interesting, and a topic that not many are informed and aware of. So we decided to do a topic which in hindsight, was quite a challenge as there is not much information on the merger, however we took the challenge on, and hopefully have given others the opportunity to gain information about quite an interesting topic.
Conducting research was somewhat difficult. Due to the fact that many of the details of the merger were kept in secret, we had to search the internet for hours, but after visiting many websites, books, articles, and primary sources, we feel that we have put more than enough information into our project to more than cover the topic to its entirety. We got together as partners numerous times to conduct our research, as well as doing additional research on our own.
At first we had decided to do a documentary on our topic. However, as we continued to do research we felt doing website would better fit this topic, and would help us more adequately share our information to our peers, and anyone else interested in such a little known topic.
Our project clearly relates to the theme of reform, and in some ways revolution. The AFL-NFL merger reformed two leagues into one to form the single greatest football league in the world, and it continues to be one of the more dominant sport leagues worldwide. It also relates to the topic of revolution in that the merger revolutionized the sports world, and completely changed the landscape of professional football forever.
