"“Green Mile” shawl collar cardigan. A beautifully hand constructed, 100% lambswool knit cardigan, embellished with leather buttons and felt “1920″ BKc applique. Why 1920? What is now the NFL (National Football League) was loosely formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association. Yet what is interesting is after 1926, all five of the black players that were still in the National Football League left the league. Several teams were kicked out of the league that year, and with a large number of available, talented white players, black players were generally the first to be removed, never to return again. Several black players did play in the league the following years, but from 1933 to 1939 the black players were officially banned from the league. The NFL did not welcome another black player until after World War II."
