You are confusing the re-organization before the 1970 season with the merger
before the one of 1966.  Take, for example and as a parallel, professional
baseball.  There are two "leagues," the American and National.  Teams in one
league only play teams in the other for the championship, i.e., the World
Series.  Yet there is ONE professional, major-league baseball organization in
this country.  This situation is similar to the one that existed between the
American and National Football Leagues from 1966 to 1970.  Just as there is
one commissioner for pro baseball, there is one for pro football, and there
has been since 1966, when Al Davis retired from the now-defunct post of
AFL commissioner.
