Trivia: What is the oldest continuously operating pro football franchise?
Chicago Bears
New York Giants
Arizona Cardinals
Cleveland Browns
The correct answer is Arizona Cardinals
So why is this answer correct? : The American Professional Football Association, which would eventually become known as the National Football League, was founded in 1920, with 11 charter members. Of those, only the Arizona Cardinals and the Chicago Bears are still in existence. The Arizona Cardinals are the older of the two, founded in 1898 as the Morgan Athletic Club. The name changed many times, to the Racine Cardinals, Chicago Cardinals, St. Louis Cardinals, Phoenix Cardinals, and, finally, Arizona Cardinals, but the line of ownership has remained the same.
