Here is a little known fact: Gondor used to partake in the NFL, however due to our exceptional ability in the sport, we were exiled from playing it any longer, after winning 78 successive titles. Gondor is no longer recongised in the history of the NFL, thus the NFL says it was founded in 1920 and the first game was in 1869, but the first game was actually between Lothlorien and Gondor in the second age of middle earth. Gondor was victorious 27-10. Gondor entered the NFL in 1840, before all the other teams, but it wasn't 'till 1842 that we won their first title against Rohan 45-21. We then went on to our unprecidented 78 streak titles. After that in 1920, the NFL decided that Gondor was too good at the sport, and changed it from Football to American Football, to deny Gondor's application to enter the NFL.
