Total BS. The competition in the AFL through its 10-year history was as good as any football fan ever saw. Donkeys SUCKED, just like they did from 2016 though 2023.

Wrong again. The NY Titans went bankrupt in 1962 & were bailed out by the league and then Sonny Werblin organized the group that bought the franchise and renamed it the Jets in 1963. The Raiders ownership needed $400,000 to stay afloat in the early '60's & Ralph Wilson gave it to them. No such reports have been found anywhere about the Donkeys being in that spot.
The Jets and Raiders went on to become SB participants in the late '60's while your Donkeys SUCKED -- hence why HC Lou Saban (Donkeys HC 1967-1971) called them "the laughing stock of pro football", which remains intact unto this day.
