To ignore the New York Yankees of the [All-American Football Conference] is a huge mistake, especially in light of their merging with the New York Bulldogs to become the Yanks of the NFL. A strong argument can be made for the merging of this article with the New York Yankees article so that a continuous timeline could be made. 147.70.242.39 21:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
first the league was call All America not All american. Second the bulldogs did not "merge" with the Yankees. The yankess folded with the AAFC the NFL did assign the rights of the players to the Bulldogs/Yanks. The reason the team was renamed the Yanks is because the team owner Collins had a team in Boston named the Yanks. He wanted a team in NY so he got a new team there in 49 but had to name the team bulldogs because of the yankess and yanks would be to simliar once the AAFC team was gone he could resume his old nickname yanks.
