title="Akron, Ohio">Akron</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ohio" title="Ohio">Ohio</a> from 1908 to 1926. The team originated in 1908 as a <a href="/wiki/Semi-professional" class="mw-redirect" title="Semi-professional">semi-pro</a> team named the <b>Akron Indians</b>, but later became Akron Pros in 1920 as the team set out to become a charter member of the American Professional Football Association (later renamed the <a href="/wiki/National_Football_League" title="National Football League">National Football League</a> (NFL) in 1922). <a href="/wiki/Fritz_Pollard" title="Fritz Pollard">Fritz Pollard</a>, the first black head coach in the NFL, co-coached the Akron Pros in 1921. <a href="/wiki/Paul_Robeson" title="Paul Robeson">Paul Robeson</a> played for the team in 1921 as well. He was among the earliest stars of professional football before football became segregated from 1934 to 1946. In 1926, the name was changed back to the Akron Indians, after the earlier semi-pro team.
