all interested parties should watch the HBO documentary, "AFL, Rebels With A Cause" fantastic information there. apparently When Mr. Hunt was negotiating with the NFL, the AFL was making little progress. So the AFL decided to vote Al Davis as Chief negotiator, the NFL knew there was no dealing with Davis and soon after the NFL caved and absorbed the AFL.
Davis was the League Commissioner, not the negotiator. Davis wanted to destroy the NFL, not join it or negotiate with it. When the merger wen't through, he was pissed because he couldn't continue his jihad.
