A question answered: what didn’t Fritz Pollard accomplish? Not only did Pollard fight racial prejudice during his life but was a great football player in the Ohio League and helped pioneer what would become the National Football League. Pollard’s intelligence, winning personality, and all-around skill made him a Hall of Famer and the NFL’s first black coach. More than an athlete, he excelled organizing barnstorming teams, booking great black entertainers, starting a coal heating company, and launching a newspaper.
