History of Football in Mexico | How Competitive Are Mexico's Football Teams?

As an american who played college football in mexico i was definitely amazed how big it is. A lot of my teammates went pro in the league when it first started. The most impressive thing to me was that girls flag football was the most popular sport for women in mexico, even more than soccer. Aside from butchering names and titles this was a great video. Never thought a gringo would take this topic on. Good job

The Burros Blancos didn't turn into the Aguilas Blancas, it's two different teams both representing IPN. Both have a rivalry vs Pumas and there's also a great rivalry between Burros and Aguilas called "La Guerra Civil" or the civil war.

[@supersasukemaniac]

Yeah I was about to say,,that sounds more like a spin-off team that represents another campus somewhere. Like here we have University of Texas, University of Texas at El Paso and Univesity of Texas at San Antonio. Each one has their own team.

[@LordDefekator]

That's incorrect. Burros Blancos dissappeared as a regular team for a few decades, the same happened with Pumas. Both public school programs were restructured and formed multiple teams, Pumas became Condores, Águilas Reales, Guerreros Aztecas and Osos Acatlán. Burros blancos turned into Águilas Blancas, Pieles Rojas and others I don't remember. Usually at the end of every ONEFA's season IPN and UNAM played a game with the best players of their respective teams and call it Pumas vs Burros Blancos. I remember this because the days previous to that game the "porros" (local student gangs in every school) turned really violent against each other and other students. When the private schools dominated the college football, Pumas and Burros Blancos returned. UNAM only kept 2 programs (Pumas and Pumas Acatlán) and the IPN kept Águilas Blancas and revived Burros Blancos from the ashes of Pieles Rojas.

Interesting! Since you've been involved with football there, is there anything big I may have missed or that's worth looking into?

[@JohnyNunoMts]

@@GridironHistoryWithKyle only that, I explain a bit, so, the separation was done because here in Mexico we got private (universities with a price) and public universities (free, but harder to get into, not necesarilly bad) and publuc universities complained that the private schools were getting the best players because they offered schoolarships, something public universities couldn’t. Because of this private universities joined CONADEIP (Comision Nacional del Deporte en Instituciones privadas), and starting in 2010 they created their own league, until 2020 when they merged again. They started doing some games against each other in 2019 (I got to broadcast a couple of them before graduating) until they formally merged again

[@unclezorbak]

@@JohnyNunoMts I was about to say the same thing! The whole reason for the creation of CONADEIP was that the private schools were offering full scholarships to the best players, so Borregos became unbeatable for a while. With no pro league (at the time), player's were better off going to the school that offered them the best education

I honestly think that the forgein Football Leagues should have aForgein Player limit like Japan Baseball league,the NPB does, where, the amount of forgein players you can have in the organization is unlimited, but only 4 can be on the first team, and they can't all be the same position, so you can't have all 4 of your forgein players be just pitchers, or just outfielders. Do something like that where you can have as many as you want, but your limited to only suiting up 5 for a game. And they can't all be on offense or defense,it hasto be a mix.

@@GridironHistoryWithKyle I think you also should do a story on the videogame “Madden” because that is what made me fall in love with American Football because not only did it teach me the rules of the game it made me appreciate how much strategy it took to play the game. The fact that the game had a first down line graphic, for example, helped me understand what downs, meant, and what value they had in the game, besides understanding and appreciating yardage gain and touchdowns. First down line graphics are now common in American football tv broadcasts, but not when I was a kid, so I had no idea what was really going on, but ‘Madden’ the game first did.

[@GridironHistoryWithKyle]

That's very interesting. It is an expensive sport to play for sure. Modern helmets are around $300-$500 a piece. For reasons I don't understand though, it doesn't cost a lot of money in the US to play football for the average person. Most High schools in the US have a football team. If you go to a public school, you usually don't have to pay anything for equipment. I think it costs money in Mexico because it's still a niche sport. If you wanted to play something like hockey or lacrosse in the US, you would most likely have to pay for all of your equipment. So, a lot of wealthier people play those sports growing up.

[@germynewguy]

American Football in Mexico is a very well organized and very well structured sport similar to the US and Canada like no other sport like soccer, which is already more of a business than a sport but it attracts the masses because it is an easier sport to understand and practice, no soccer player has the training of an American Football Player because soccer for many is a professional goal. For an American football player it is a beautiful sport because if he leaves it he is already a professional who studied a career American football has been practiced in this country for more than 100 years, the 32 state universities plus the private universities, not counting the private leagues that in the end produce players who join the University teams to continue advancing in their growth that begins with the children's leagues until they reach the senior category and from there they go on to play professionally in the LFA, a professional player in Mexico is not improvised because the majority have played since they were children until they become Professional, every year like in the US and Canada there is a draft where players who finish their university cycle are promoted to the professional level and are acquired by the different teams in the league and these are complemented by foreign players, mostly from the US, who have raised the technique and game of the players. Mexicans and who have contributed to the quality and spectacle of the LFA that grows more every day and has positioned itself as the 3rd best league in the world after the NFL and the CFL.

Football will never make it in Mexico anymore than soccer will make it in the US.

[@GridironHistoryWithKyle]

Make it how? No one's saying it'll be bigger than the NFL? Many soccer teams do well in the US. It doesn't mean they are going to ever be elite.

How about less politics and more football!!

[@flugjung]

Unfortunately politics had a lot to do with football not being as popular as to should in the 70s. He got it pretty accurate. I wouldn’t have dived into details but I appreciate he did his homework. There were even plans to cancel NFLs broadcast in Mexico due to the huge pressure of the “soccer lobby”.

[@rudela9900]

Actually, the very first NFL game was in 1978, when the New Orleans Saints played the Philadelphia Eagles. In fact, Ron Jaworski made an asshole of himself by bitching about the facilities. You should ask him about that. Also, NFL viewership has been alive and kicking since the 1950s in Mexico. For the last sixty-something years, nobody cared whether the NFL had quota players of non-traditional backgrounds, and sure as hell, nobody was missing Mexican players. This attempt to shove diversity down people's throats is nauseating, despicable, and immoral, as it will unquestionably blow up in the NFL's face.

That was a preseason game, not a regular season game.

What you just said is so dumb that everyone else here is now dumber for having heard such stupidity.

As a Saints fan this idiot doesn't belong in our beloved fan base.
