Talk:Pete Rozelle

"Most successful sports league in the world"

This is a statement that needs to be sourced. I'd believe that the NFL is the most successful sports league in the US, but I would argue that worldwide, the NBA is far more successful, not to mention the FA Premier League which has a far wider audience. howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 18:26, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

I would be fine with leaving it the way it is after your rewrite, Howcheng. It is definitely one of the most successful sports leagues in the world, while the other statement is more controversial.--Alhutch 18:30, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

This article needs more info

We have so much on the 1960s and two sentences on his commissionership from the next two decades. I'll get to work later in the week adding in more information. Bsd987 20:49, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Factual error

When Rozelle became Commish in 1960, the NFL consisted of 12 teams, not 10.

article is slanted

This is written like a fan page, that is, by a fan of the old AFL who repeatedly takes digs at Rozelle. Whole sections have no citations and have to be trimmed, until someone comes up with reliable sources for the claims within.Princetoniac (talk) 20:25, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

"Communist Party USA"

The article claimed that Rozelle was a member of the Communist Party, which I figured wasn't true. Nothing in the text of the article supports this and it appears to have been added a little while ago by an anonymous editor without any citation. I think it didn't get noticed until now because the edit that added the claim was formatted incorrectly, causing it to not appear on the page at first; and then the formatting was corrected.

If I am wrong and he was in fact a member of CPUSA, anyone with a source for that info can feel free to put it back in with a citation. 2600:8801:1C97:A300:3CB2:496:F2CD:53A6 (talk) 22:39, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
