A century ago two Ohio powers, Canton and Massillon, battled for supremacy of professional football. Back then the game was a cross between a three-ring circus and trench warfare, and the players were team-switching mercenaries. The championship series might even have been fixed
I thought this was an awesome read, I highly recommend it!

Great read. Makes me even more irritated that the Superpower in Columbus got the High School D1 Championship game moved from Canton to C-Bus. That game was meant to be played at the birthplace. Most of the teams that play in that Championship game are assembled in the same manner as the ones described in the article……
