In 1919, starch manufacturer A.E. Staley from Decatur, Illinois decided to market his company by creating a football team. To improve the team he hired former New York Yankee, player at the University of Illinois, and Rose Bowl MVP George S. Halas to coach and work in his starch factory the following year.

The American Professional Football Association was formed in September 1920 in Canton, Ohio with Halas representing the Staleys. Decatur ranked second in the league the inagural year with a 10-1-2 record. To capture a larger fan base, Halas persuaded Staley to move the team to Wrigley Field in Chicago where they became the Chicago Staleys in 1921, winning the championship that season. Before the 1922 season, Staley sold his team to Halas and his partner Dutch Sternaman for $30,000. Halas renamed the team the Bears...and the rest is history.
