With expansion off the table, Hunt decided to start his own league – the American Football League (AFL). He thought he was going to buy the Chicago Cardinals then relocate the club to Texas only to be rebuffed about the sale. One of these men was a 26-year-old oilman from Dallas named Lamar Hunt. Each one was told the same thing: the league is not entertaining the idea of expansion and if you want in, purchase an existing team.
