Although payments to players were considered unsporting and dishonourable and even though PAC had suspicions it was kept a secret for years. After almost 80 years the Pro Football Hall of Fame received and displayed a document of an expense accounting sheet of the Allegheny Athletic Association, also known as “the birth certificate of pro football.” Therefore pro football made its way after more than 100 years of being invented, as an official professional sport.

Michael is a star player on the field and Leigh Ann is very determined to get him the NCAA Division I scholarship, but he needs a 2.5 GPA in order to receive it. Michael gets help from tutors and teachers and achieves the GPA he needs. Michael goes on to attend Ole Miss on a scholarship and is later drafted to the Baltimore Ravens.

Director Boaz Yakin's REMEMBER THE TITANS captures the heart of high school football while tackling the sins of its fathers, chronicling the true story of the undefeated 1971 T.C. Williams team of Alexandria, Virginia, which was the first integrated high school team in the state. The players represent a hotbed of racial tension, but as the team struggle towards unity and gridiron glory, Remember the Titans builds on several subplots and character dynamics to become an inspirational drama. It tackles the issues of race and bigotry, and does so in a typically blunt and head-on fashion. The year is 1971, and Alexandria, Virginia is under federal mandate to integrate its schools.

Surroundings As long as I can remember I wanted to be a star athlete, you see my dad played football from pee-wee to collage.

When I was three it was baseball, when I was seven it was soccer. In the third grade football was my passion, and it carried with me throughout my first two years of high school. When I was in the middle of my eighth grade year one of the coaches came up to me in P.e and suggested that I try out for the high school football team, he said I had the highest vertical and fastest thirty yard sprint.
