As far as other sports, the fact that most fans wouldn't even know the names Marion Motley and Bill Willis just shows how insignificant football was in the late '40s.
Not only did they beat Jackie Robinson to the "big leagues", but they were both such dominant players from the outset of their NFL career. Motley was probably even better than Jim Brown (but didn't get nearly as many carries, so his numbers were largely ignored).
