Currently there are 32 teams in the NFL. Each team has it’s own specialties and legacies. However, today we are going to talk about the oldest team of the league- Arizona Cardinals.
Originally founded in 1898 as the Morgan Athletic Club in Chicago, the team began as an amateur sports team. They played a variety of sports, including football, and eventually became known as the Racine Normals.
In 1920, the team joined the newly formed American Professional Football Association, which later became the NFL. The team was renamed the Racine Cardinals in 1922, and in 1925, they won their first NFL championship.
They moved from Chicago to St. Louis, becoming the St. Louis Cardinals. They made it to the playoffs several times, but they never won a Super Bowl.
In 1988, the team moved to Arizona and became the Arizona Cardinals.
Despite their many moves and name changes, the Cardinals remain the oldest team in the NFL. They have a long and storied history, and they continue to be a beloved team in the NFL today.
