More Quotes from Al Davis:
In Texarkana, school integration was approached quietly, because they didn't want to have the problems like those taking place in Little Rock. That didn't mean there weren't problems. In Little Rock, with the integration of Central High, that didn't happen quietly, so here they tried to avoid those problems. I was at Grambling at the time, and we were doing things for the civil rights movement there.

There's always the possibility of a new league. You have to understand it. I do. I lived it. I coached and was a commissioner of a new league that forced a merger. I know how to do it.

They had a problem, too, because they would have anarchy. Gene Upshaw would be out eventually and the whole group would have been disbanded eventually because people would go their own way.
