In the NFL-AFL merger why did those 3 NFL teams agree to move to the AFC?

To make it even the NFL had 16 and AFL had 10 so it would make it even .
Pittsburgh agreed to move in order to maintain the rivalry with Cleveland. Cleveland agreed to move to play against Cincinnati (an AFL team) and to maintain the rivalry with Pittsburgh. Baltimore was asked to move because if the Colts were in the AFC, their games would be broadcast on NBC while the NFC Redskins would have their games broadcast on CBS. The Redskins had seniority over the Colts in the NFL and were not interested in moving to play the AFL teams.
Also each team that moved received 3 million dollars in compensation.

What are the differences between the National League Conference and the American League Conference in American football?
First of all, you are confusing the terms national league and American league used in baseball with football. Replace the word league with football. NFL has the National Football Conference and American Football Conference. There really is no difference, the difference is very similar to the differences between the American League and National League in baseball. Both Conferences are at the same level of play, play for the world championship with one team represting each (league in baseball, conference in football) in the final round of the playoffs, and in both baseball and football, each team plays the majority of games in their own (league in baseball, conference in football), but still plays a few of their games against teams from the other league or conference. These conferences were created after the NFL merged with a competing top-level league in 1970, the AFL (American Football League). All teams in the NFC are either expansion teams created after the merger, or were in the NFL before the merger. In the AFC, three teams that were in the NFL moved to the AFC the year of the merger so both conferences would have the same number of teams. Other than those three teams, all AFC teams were in the AFL or are expansion teams created after the merger.
When is there 163 games in a baseball season?
When, after 162 games, two teams are tied for the division lead, or for the wildcard spot, those two teams, and only those two teams, play a one-game "playoff" to determine which team wins the division or the wildcard spot. It happens less often than you might think.
Who pays for NFL players?
The teams that they play on pay the players' salaries. The revenue that the teams take in from ticket sales, television agreements, revenue sharing, etc provide the funds that allow those teams to have the capital to pay the players.
Who is the oldest nfl team?
Professionally, the Arizona Cardinals are the oldest team in the NFL, being founded in 1898 as the Morgan Athletic Club. The Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears are the next oldest teams, both being founded in 1919. The Bears (as the Decatur Staleys) and the Cardinals (as the Racine Cardinals) both joined the NFL in 1920 as founding teams. The Packers joined a year later in 1921. If you want to get technical, the Green Bay Packers would actually be the oldest team, as you can trace their lineage back to 1896 to semi-professional teams that played in Green Bay. However, they did not officially become the Packers until 1919, and therefore are not considered the oldest. Continuing on, the current New York Giants would be next on the list, having been founded in 1925, followed by the Lions, who were founded in 1929 as the Portsmouth Spartans. Contrary to popular belief, the Giants were not founded in 1919, or in 1921, as the 1919 team folded the same year, and the 1921 team folded the following year in 1922. Other than the name, neither one of those teams have any relation to the current New York Giants.

Why isnt lacrosse in the Olympics?
I agree, it should be. However, there is not enough international support. The only serious teams are USA, Canada, and (maybe) Australia. Not much other competition aside from those. Maybe it'll become more popular who knows, but not any time soon.
